Adriaan Isebree Moens (15 November 1846 – 24 June 1891) was a Dutch physician and physiologist.

[4] In this role he began his work on arterial wave travel using reservoirs, elastic tubes and air chambers.

These studies formed the basis of this doctorate in 1877 and were published in a 145-page monograph, Die Pulscurve, in 1878.

The key finding of this work was an empirical relationship that described the velocity of pulse propagation in elastic tubes.

Except for a numerical constant this turned out to be identical to the theoretical prediction derived by Diederik Korteweg in 1878 and the relationship is now known as the Moens–Korteweg equation.
