-
June--August 1991: visited Rutgers University (NJ, USA), invited by
Prof. N. J. Zabusky for research in computational fluid
dynamics.
-
July--November 1992: as a visiting scholar at Rutgers University
participated in the International Workshop on nonlinear processes in
fluid dynamics.
- Research experience:
- 10+ years of research in geophysical and general
fluid dynamics and applied mathematics in scientific institutions.
Specifically:
-
The theory of rotating fluids, including Ekman and Stewartson layers,
the problem of spin-up/spin-down, geophysical vortices, flows
generated by sinks and sources of mass;
-
Dynamics and stability of quasi 2D shear flows e.i. 2D flows
with bottom friction), including linear and weakly nonlinear
stability theory, secondary vortex interactions, and turbulence;
-
Numerical simulation and visualization of two-dimensional flows;
quasi-spectral methods and arrays of point vortices;
-
k--epsilon turbulence models for turbulent Ekman layer;
-
Theory of turbulent mixing and spectra of passive scalar in two-dimensional
turbulence;
-
Principal Component Analysis in application to atmospheric and
experimental data, generalizations onto data with gaps;
-
Theoretical interpretation of data from laboratory
and numerical experiments in fluid dynamics.
- Teaching experience:
- Advanced mathematics to gifted children in
primary school.
- Programming experience:
- Five years programming in C language for IBM
PC machines, including low-level printer, display and COM-port
control, TSR utilities, high-level GUI under DOS and MS Windows 3.1,
OLE 1, database applications (with Paradox Engine library). Also
familiar with FORTRAN, BASIC, Emacs Lisp, UNIX shell, TeX (as a
programming language), have some experience with Assembly language,
and C++. Wrote CGI scripts for interactive HTML hypertext, dealt with
NCSA HDF scientific data format, neural network simulations, and fluid
dynamical computations;
- Familiar with Microsoft C programming environment and a
number of other software for PC, as well as with UNIX workstations and
X-Windows system (including elementary graphics programming).
