Head of the Computational Aerodynamics Lab,
Novosibirsk 630090, Russia
Lab: (3832) 35 31 69 Fax: (3832) 35 22 68
M.S., Mechanics and Mathematics, 1968, Moscow State University, Moscow,
Russia. Ph.D., Mechanics of Fuids and Plasma, 1979, Institute of Theoreticaland
Applied Mechanics, Novosibirsk, Russia. Professor, Mechanics of Fuids and
Plasma, 1993, Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Novosibirsk,
Russia. 1988-present time, research scientist, seniour scientist, head of group, head
of laboratory at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Novosibirsk,
Russia. Twenty-eight years varied experience in rarefied aerodynamics. Designed
and developed both numerical methods and software for the calculation of
aerodynamics for satellites, space stations and reentry space vehicles.
He is familiar with the application of numerical and engineering methods of rarefied
aerodynamics in real aerospace projects (for example, spacecraft "BURAN").
He has been responsible for the creation of new numerical methods for solving the
Boltzmann equation for finite Knudsen numbers, the development of the software
for calculation of the aerodynamics of satellites and space stations at high flight
altitudes, the Theoretical validation of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo methods
for rarefied gas flows and the creation of new numerical schemes of the DSMC,
the analysis of the connection of the statistical simulation results with the solution
of the Boltzmann equation, the development of the software for calculation of the
free-molecular aerodynamics of satellites and space stations (as space station "Mir",
satellites "Cosmos-1402" and "Cosmos-1900"), and the creation of computational
tools for rarefied gas aerodynamics applicable to modern parallel computer
architecture and its application to the calculations and analysis of 3-D aerodynamics
of real space vehicles. M.S. Ivanov was a principal investigator from the Russian
side during the creation of the RAMSES system for ESOC. From 1983 to 1996 he
was a Senior lecturer at Novosibirsk Technical University. His total number of
publications (journals, books and referred conferences) is more than 90.
