The Hydrodynamic Stability Laboratory was established in 1979. Until 2001, the laboratory was headed by V.A. Briskman. He was a prominent theoretical physicist and a talented organizer, who played a significant role in developing academic science in Perm and in establishing connections between the Institute and foreign colleagues. From 2001 to 2003, the Laboratory was headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor V.G.Kozlov. From 2004 to 2017, it was headed by K.G.Kostarev, PhD in Physical and Mathematical Sciences, who is an expert in physical-chemical hydrodynamics. Since 2018, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences A.I. Mizev has been in charge of the Laboratory.
The Laboratory conducts fundamental and applied research in the field of convective heat and mass transfer in multicomponent and multiphase fluid systems, considering chemical reactions, phase transitions, polymerization processes, and the influence of external force fields. In recent years, the Laboratory scope has expanded significantly to include interdisciplinary scientific fields at the intersection of hydrodynamics with classical and colloid chemistry, biology and medicine.


Several techniques were designed and implemented over the years to accelerate reaction processes in flow-through microreactors influenced by convective heat and mass transfer mechanisms. Novel approaches to separating oil-water emulsions in acoustic and electric fields were developed. The Laboratory gained extensive experience in the physicochemical hydrodynamics of multiphase systems with surfactants. A hardware/software system was developed for the non-invasive collection of pulmonary surfactant samples in an electric field, followed by analysis of the properties of the collected material.
The Laboratory boasts a vast array of equipment from global leaders in measuring instruments. These instruments are used to measure static and dynamic surface/interfacial tension, surface and rheological properties of surfactant layers, free energy and wettability of solid surfaces, and properties of dispersed systems. Particular attention is given to the development of optical methods for contactless measurements of field properties both in the bulk of a liquid and on its surface.
