Samenvatting
Vladimir Jordan was an adherent of post-WW2 hard working European engineering
community. In 1947 he established and headed the design office of a newly founded
manufacturer of turbine and industrial equipment: Litostroj. As a natural born artist, he
‘fell in love’ with the graphical method which he applied in conjunction with analytical
methods for water-hammer analysis to a range of industrial problems. In particular, his
original papers on the treatment of distributed vaporous cavitation along pipelines, shut
off
valve induced hydraulic oscillations, and water-hammer effects in Kaplan turbine draft
tubes, attracted wide interest in the seventies. Jordan’s life and work are reviewed. Special
attention is paid to a few highlights which may not sink into oblivion.
