The work and life of Ippolit Stepanovich Gromeka is reviewed. Gromeka authored a classical
set of eleven papers on fluid dynamics in just ten years before a tragic illness ended his life …

We have obtained a generalization of the hydrodynamic theory of vacuum in the context of
general relativity. While retaining the Lagrangian character of general relativity, the new …

The study investigates creeping flow-induced alteration in the permeability of deformable
particle systems. Low-Reynolds-number transversal flow through random arrays of aligned …

A general exact weak solution to the non-linear equation of the conservation of the absolute
vorticity in a thin layer of an incompressible medium on a rotating sphere is proposed. It …

The conditions of linear instability for a converging cylindrical shock wave in an arbitrary
inviscid medium are obtained. The initial continuous cylindrical symmetry of the shock wave …

The commonly applied self-similar solution of the problem of the converging shock wave
(shock) evolution with constant compression of the medium behind the shock front results in …

On the basis of a number of model approaches, a hypothesis of an important role of
electromagnetic phenomena in the formation of whirlwinds is discussed. The formation of a …

Kelvin's minimum energy theorem predicts that the irrotational motion of a homogeneously
incompressible fluid in a simply connected region will carry less kinetic energy than any …

Helicity generation conditions are derived for helical flows of Joukowski type with allowance
for effects due to viscosity, buoyancy, temperature nonuniformity, and solid-body rotation …

It is shown that initiated by action of molecular viscosity impulse flow, directed usually from
the moving fluid to limiting it solid surface, can, under certain conditions, turn to zero and get …
