Vladimir Nikolajevich Pokrovskii (Russian: Влад’имир Никол’аевич Покр’овский; born 11 May 1934) is a Russian scientist known for his original contributions to polymer physics and economic theory. He was the founder of the Altai (Russia, Barnaul) school of dynamics of nonlinear fluids (Yurii Altukhov, Grigorii Pyshnograi and others).[citation needed]

Biography

Pokrovskii was born May 11, 1934, into a Russian family in the rural locality

Institute of Chemical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (Chernogolovka, Moscow region) where in positions of Senior Research Fellow was engaged in studying of suspensions and polymers. He received the first Russian scientific degree (Candidate of Sciences, 1968) and the second Russian Degree (Doctor of Sciences, 1977) in Physics and Mathematics.[citation needed] Since 1980 Vladimir Nikolaevich has managed the Department of Applied Mathematics of the Altai Polytechnic Institute (now Altai State Technical University), (Barnaul, Russia), and in 1981 he was appointed Professor of Applied Mathematics.[citation needed] From 1987-1995 he was Professor and Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics at Moscow University of Economics, Statistics and Informatics (МЭСИ, the Russian abbreviation). He works on methods of modelling of economic processes and undertakes the studies in the field of the mathematical description of economic growth which has led to the understanding of the role of energy and, eventually, to the formulation of the generalized labour theory of value.[citation needed

Since 1995 Vladimir Nikolaevich has been a visiting professor at Maltese University. He gives lectures on statistical physics and is engaged in research work. He now (2021) lives with his wife in Moscow, and writes about his life in 'Notes'[1]

Distinctions

Jubilee Medal "In Commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin" (1970) [citation needed]

Research

Dynamics of suspensions

For description of dynamic behaviour of

liquid crystals[5] [6]

Polymer dynamics

The properties of

macromolecules among similar macromolecules (in the entangled system) confirms the existence of reptation in the region of molecular mass above 10 times the length between 'entanglements'[7][8] and identifies the internal relaxation processes in polymers from the molecular point of view.[9] The theory has determined the reliable foundation for the theory of viscoelasticity, diffusion and a number of other features of polymeric materials.[10] The Pokrovskii's monograph is included into the Sunfoundry list of the best books on dynamics of polymers.[11]
The theory is concerned with linear macromolecules, and one needs in the extension of the theory to macromolecules of different structures (in a form of a comb, a star, and others).

Econodynamics

The

labour theory of value. The theory
allows analysis of the current situation in economies and to reconstruct the picture of production activity on the Earth in the previous millennia.

Dynamics of complex thermodynamic systems

Considering the

living organism as an open thermodynamic system, which allows formulating the thermodynamic equation of growth[17]
