History

The scientific organization was established in 1957 and became one of the first institutes of the Siberian Branch of the RAS. In 1980, the institute was named after Mikhail Lavrentyev. From 1991 to 2001, the organization was part of the Joint Institute of Hydrodynamics. In early 2002, 417 people worked at the institute including 2 academicians, 4 corresponding members, 52 doctors of sciences and 72 candidates of sciences.

Activities

The institute works in various areas, such as mathematical problems of

continuum mechanics Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the mechanical behavior of materials modeled as a continuous mass rather than as discrete particles. The French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy was the first to formulate such m ...

, physics and mechanics of high-energy processes, mechanics of liquids and gases, mechanics of a deformable solid. During the Soviet period, the organization began to engage in

explosion welding Explosion welding (EXW) is a solid state (solid-phase) process where welding is accomplished by accelerating one of the components at extremely high velocity through the use of chemical explosives. This process is often used to clad carbon ste ...

. Among the significant results of the institute is the construction of the complete theory of detonation in gases, which explained, among other things, the nature of spin detonation; the discovery and investigation of new phenomena in the field of explosive processes and detonation, including the formation of ultradispersed diamond during an explosion; a rigorous substantiation of approximate models of the theory of wave motions of an

perfect fluid In physics, a perfect fluid is a fluid that can be completely characterized by its rest frame mass density \rho_m and ''isotropic'' pressure ''p''. Real fluids are "sticky" and contain (and conduct) heat. Perfect fluids are idealized models in whi ...
