Main Research Lines

  • A cycle of investigations on physics of plasma dynamic processes involving the laser plasma action on metals and composite materials is carried out. For this work the Laboratory researchers G.S. Romanov and Yu.A. Stankevich in the team of co-authors are awarded the State Prize of Belarus for 1992 in the field of science and technology. 
  • Calculation methods are developed and computer codes are elaborated for mathematical modeling of two-dimensional unsteady problems of dynamics of emitting gas.
