Comparatively little is known of the life of Jean Leonard Marie Poiseuille (1797-1869) of Paris. He made important contributions to the experimental study of circulatory dynamics but it can hardly be said that Poiseuille knowingly described the law which governs laminar flow. He did however establish, in a series of meticulously executed experiments, that at a given temperature water flow through tubes of very fine bore is inversely proportional to the length of the tube and directly proportional to the pressure gradient and to the fourth power of the tube diameter.
人们对巴黎的让·莱昂纳德·玛丽·泊肃叶（1797 - 1869）的生平了解相对较少。他在循环动力学的实验研究方面做出了重要贡献，但很难说泊肃叶是有意描述了层流的规律。然而，他通过一系列精心实施的实验确实证实，在给定温度下，水通过极细内径管道的流量与管道长度成反比，与压力梯度成正比，与管道直径的四次方成正比。
