Sergei Ivanovich Syrowatsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sergei Ivanovich Syrowatski ( Russian Сергей Иванович Сыроватский , English transcription Syrovatskii; born March 2, 1925 in Beresnehuwate ; † September 26, 1979 in Moscow ) was a Russian theoretical physicist.

Syrowatsky studied at Lomonosov University (graduating in 1951) and was a professor at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology .

He dealt with magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with applications in plasma physics and astrophysics and space physics . He formulated the MHD equations as a closed system of conservation laws, gave exact solutions for movement along magnetic field lines (especially the problem of buoyancy) and examined stability issues in the MHD. He also dealt with synchrotron radiation in astrophysics (with inferences about the movement of relativistic electrons in galaxies, which, according to Syrowatski, are accelerated directly at the sources of origin) and with Vitali Lasarewitsch Ginsburg with the creation mechanisms of cosmic radiation (both in solar flares and in supernovae, quasars and other discussed sources of high energy cosmic rays).
