Biography
He was born in Saratov, where his mother was evacuated during the Great Patriotic War .
He graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University (1966). He specialized in hydroaerodynamics, a student of V.P. Karlikov . In 1969 he graduated from graduate school there.
In 1972 he defended a dissertation at the Moscow State University for the degree of candidate of physical and mathematical sciences [1] .
In 1987, he defended a dissertation at the Moscow State University for the degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences [2] .
Since 1969, he has been working at the Computing Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR , a junior research associate, from 1977 a senior research associate, and from 1990 to 2014, the Scientific Secretary of the Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Since 1991, also - Head of the Department of Continuum Mechanics, Computing Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Scientific Interests
- Math modeling.
- Explosion theory.
- Meteor physics.
- Computational methods.
He is a leading specialist in Russia in the field of computer simulation of powerful explosions in various environments. He investigated the problems of a strong explosion in various conditions, including underwater explosions. He simulated the phenomenon of the Tunguska meteorite [3] , obtained a number of results [4] , [5] in particular, an estimate of the explosion power.
A number of works are devoted to the destruction of large-scale meteorites , the collision of which with the Earth can have disastrous consequences for all life on Earth .
On his initiative, a study of the possibility of producing diamonds under shock compression of graphite was started in the department of continuum mechanics of the Computing Center of the RAS [6] .
