Formation of turbulence research in Perm (in memory of Valery Dmitrievich Zimin)

Abstract

Valery Dmitrievich Zimin worked in the Laboratory of Physical Hydrodynamics at ICMM UB RAS from its foundation in 1971 until 1990 and played a very important role in shaping the scientific topics ofthe Laboratory. The paper gives a retrospective analysis of the laboratory's work in the field of turbulent flow research with an emphasis on V.D. Zimin's original ideas, which determined the directions of the laboratory's work, developed up to the present day. Such directions include hierarchical and shell models of turbulence, wavelet analysis of various physical systems, space-time analysis of turbulent flows and investigation of helical large-scale vortices and helical small-scale turbulence.
