Boris Borisovich Kadomzew
Boris Borissowitsch Kadomzew ( Russian Борис Борисович Кадомцев ; English transcription Boris Kadomtsev; born November 9, 1928 in Penza ; † August 19, 1998 ) was a Russian physicist who dealt with plasma physics.
Kadomzew graduated from Lomonosov University in 1951 , then worked at the Institute of Physics and Energy in Obninsk and from 1956 at the Institute for Atomic Energy.
He was a leading Russian plasma physicist who also worked on controlled nuclear fusion problems ( tokamaks ). He developed a theory of the transport phenomena in turbulent plasmas and a theory of the so-called anomalous behavior of plasmas in magnetic fields. In 1966 he discovered a plasma instability with trapped particles.
One of Kadomzew 1970 Vladimir Iosifovich Petwiaschwili (1936-1993) introduced into the plasma physics nonlinear partial differential equation named after them Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation (KP equation) for which Vladimir Sakharov accurate and Alexei Sabbath in the 1970s Solitonenlösungen found and which also plays an important role in other areas of theoretical physics and in complex analysis, where with its help the Schottky problem was solved.
From 1973 he was chairman of the plasma physics section of the state committee for the use of nuclear energy. In 1970 he received the Soviet State Prize.
He has been a corresponding member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences since 1962 and a full member since 1970 . In 1998 he received the James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics .
