Vladimir Pokrovskii
Vladimir Nikolajevich Pokrovskii (russian: Влад’имир Никол’аевич Покр’овский; born 11 May 1934) is a Russian scientist known for his original contributions to polymer physics and economic theory. He was the founder of the Altai (Russia, Barnaul) school of dynamics of nonlinear fluids (Yurii Altukhov, Grigorii Pyshnograi and others). Biography Pokrovskii was born May 11, 1934 into a Russian family in the rural locality Altayskoye, Altaysky District, Altai Krai (Russian: Алтайское, Алтайского края), Russia. He graduated from Tomsk State University in Siberia as a physicist (Department of Theoretical Physics) in 1958 and in the same year was employed as a teacher of physics at Tomsk Polytechnic University. In 1964 he moved to the Branch of Institute of Chemical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (Chernogolovka, Moscow region) where in positions of Senior Research Fellow was engaged in studying of suspensi ...

Complex Fluid
Complex fluids are mixtures that have a coexistence between two Phase (matter) , phases: solid–liquid (Suspension (chemistry) , suspensions or solutions of macromolecules such as polymers), solid–gas (Granular material, granular), liquid–gas (foams) or liquid–liquid (emulsions). They exhibit unusual mechanical responses to applied Stress (physics) , stress or Strain (materials science) , strain due to the geometrical constraints that the phase coexistence imposes. The mechanical response includes transitions between solid-like and fluid-like behavior as well as fluctuations. Their mechanical properties can be attributed to characteristics such as high disorder, caging, and clustering on multiple length scales. Example Shaving cream is an example of a complex fluid. Without stress, the foam appears to be a solid: it does not flow and can support (very) light Structural load , loads. However, when adequate stress is applied, shaving cream flows easily like a fluid. On ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
