Explanation:
No me terminan de gustar las respuestas de los compañeros. Yo no lo diría así en español. Mi propuesta:

- "Esto se conoce como 'onda Kelvin' (por Lord Kelvin, en reconocimiento de su trabajo fundamental sobre la dinámica ondulatoria)."

El enfoque a mi entender es en esta situación "por XXX", cuando se indica el nombre de alguien o algo en recuerdo de otra persona memorable por algún motivo.
