Nuri Saryal

Nuri Saryal (2 September 1929 - 22 December 2020) was a Turkish engineer, academic and university administrator of the Azerbaijani and German origin.

His doctoral dissertation, titled "Unsteady State Temperature Distribution in Steam Turbine Rotors Using Electrical Analogy," resulted in a patent by AEG Company, which financed his research.

From 1970 to 1972, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow and visiting professor at the Technical University of Munich, where his lectures on "Elektrische Analogiemethoden für Wärmeübertragungs- und Wärmespannungsprobleme" were published.

In 1992, he was awarded Das Grosse Verdienstkreuz des Verdienstordens der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (English: The Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany).

Afterward, he continued his research on "Electrical Simulation of Compressible Fluid Flow" and developed a drift-free, highly stable analog integrator suitable for hybrid analog-digital computation of scientific phenomena.
