Clicking the picture on the left starts a short movie: ‘collisions’ of self-organised structures on a falling film flow.
(This picture is the first frame of the movie.) More explanations are found under the Movies tab of the menu bar above. That page also contains 17 other animations of simulations of fluid surface evolution; the ‘collisions’ movie is # 9 in the table.(To return from a movie, either close its new tab or – depending on your browser settings – push the ‘back’ button of the movie page.) |

After expatriating from the USSR in 1979, worked also at the Department of Astronomy, Boston University (1980-1981); the Levich Institute, City College, New York (1981-1989); Service de Physique Theorique, CEA/Saclay, France (summer 1985); Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University (1988-1989).
Earlier work included such topics as Stability of cosmological solutions of Einstein’s equations of gravity; wave-generating Instabilities in Plasmas and self-gravitating systems (such as Galaxies and clusters of stars); and Turbulence-related dynamical invariants of topological character in Hydrodynamics.
Current research interests: Instabilities and Nonlinear wave phenomena (including Spatiotemporal Chaos and self-organized Complex Order) in Hydrodynamics and Magnetohydrodynamics; Cosmology.
