Professor Vladimir I. Merkulov is a Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and Leading Research Fellow of the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk, Russia.
V. Merkulov was born in South Ural (USSR) in February 1930. He graduated from Physics and Mathematics Department of Rostov State University in the city of Rostov-on-Don in 1953 and took a post-graduate course at the Institute of Mathematics of the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1958. V. Merkulov received his Ph.D. in Physics and Mathematics in 1960 and became a Doctor of Physics and Mathematics in 1972.
Prof. Merkulov started his career in 1958 as an Assistant Professor at Hydromechanics Department of Kiev State University. From 1963 to 1978 he worked as Head of Laboratory on Process Control in Solid Medium at the Institute of Cybernetics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, Kiev, Ukraine. Over a period from 1978 to 1990 Prof. Merkulov headed the Laboratory on Fluid Flow Control at the Institute of Theoretic and Applied Mechanics, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, Novosibirsk, Russia. Since 1990 up to present time Prof. Merkulov has been working as a Leading Research Fellow of the same Institute.
Prof. Merkulov is a well known expert in the field of internal gravitational waves (buoyancy waves) in atmosphere and in vortex chambers. He has supervised scientific works of 12 Ph.D.s, 2 Doctors of Sciences and one Full Member of the Ukrainian National Academy of Science. He is an author of more than 100 publications and patents, including 4 books published in Russian.
Some of his publications are devoted to physics of various natural phenomena: Popular Hydrodynamics, Buoyancy Waves as a Heat Pump, Tornado and Elasticity of Discrete Vorticity, Electrogravidynamic Model of UFO, Tornado and Tropical Hurricane, etc.
«Amazing Hydromechanics» is his first book published in English. It tells about basic laws of hydrodynamics and science of liquid and gas flows in a comprehensible form. Airplanes and ships, birds and dolphins, blood vessels and pipelines are among the author’s research objects. Application of various laws is demonstrated on numerous examples taken from the ambient life. Description of the existing potential of hydrodynamics, novel technology solutions and inventions may kindle interest of many readers. The monograph is very well illustrated that both complements the book and facilitates its understanding.
An adult reader will benefit from reading this book by broadening his horizons and discovering unknown facts. Boys and girls will further in choosing a profession that may become their fate.view less
