About the Authors
Professor Boris V. Novozhilov
Professor Boris V. Novozhilov (1930–2017) was born in Alma‐Ata (Kazakhstan, which at that time was part of the Soviet Union). He graduated with honors in Applied Physics from the Leningrad (currently Peter the Great St. Petersburg) Polytechnic Institute in 1953. He received his PhD (1959) and DrSc (1968) degrees in Physical and Mathematical Sciences.
From 1954 to 2017, Professor B.V. Novozhilov worked at the Institute of Chemical Physics (currently the Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics) of the USSR (later Russian) Academy of Sciences in various roles, including the Head of Laboratory of Mathematical Methods in Chemical Physics (1976–1992) and Chief Researcher.
Professor B.V. Novozhilov is best known for his outstanding fundamental contribution to the theory of propellant combustion and, together with Ya. B. Zeldovich, is a founder of the Zeldovich–Novozhilov theory of nonsteady solid propellant combustion.
Professor B.V. Novozhilov's other research interests include nuclear physics (propagation of gamma quanta in matter), the theory of spin combustion, and the theory of “cold” flame propagation.
Professor B.V. Novozhilov is a recipient of the Ya. B. Zeldovich Gold Medal from The Combustion Institute “for outstanding contributions to the theory of combustion” (1996). He has also received a number of Russian Federation Government Awards in Science and Technology.
Professor B.V. Novozhilov is the author of over 150 journal papers and 12 books.
Professor Vasily B. Novozhilov
Professor Vasily B. Novozhilov was born in 1963 in Moscow. He graduated with an MSc in Applied Mathematics from the Russian State University of Oil and Gas in 1986. He later received a PhD in Physical and Mathematical Sciences (Mechanics of Fluid, Gas and Plasma) from the Moscow Aviation Institute in 1993.
