Dario Graffi (10 January 1905 – 28 December 1990) was an influential Italian mathematical physicist. He is known for his researches on the Electromagnetic field, particularly for a mathematical explanation of the Luxemburg effect, for proving an important uniqueness theorem for the solutions of a class of fluid dynamics equations including the Navier-Stokes equation,[1] for his researches in continuum mechanics and for his contribution to oscillation theory.
