Abstract
Grigory Barenblatt devoted his scientific life to the analysis of difficult and important problems in mechanics: turbulence, including turbulence in the oceans and the atmosphere and in polymeric fluids, fracture, fatigue and damage accumulation in solids, flow in porous media, and combustion. He made use of sophisticated and innovative mathematical tools that he himself developed with his collaborators: in particular, similarity, scaling methods and intermediate asymptotics. During the years up to the dissolution of the USSR, he held senior positions in the Institute of Petroleum, the Institute for Problems in Mechanics and the Institute of Oceanology, all institutes of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and the Department of Plasticity at the Institute of Mechanics, Lomonosov Moscow State University. In 1992 he was appointed the first G. I. Taylor Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge, and then in 1996, he was appointed Professor in Residence, Department of Mathematics, University of California at Berkeley. His work has garnered many prestigious awards and world-wide recognition.
