MILLIONSHCHIKOV, MIKHAIL DMITRIE V^ICH (Mechanical 

 Engineer and Physicist) 



M. D. Millionshchikov was born January 16, 1913. He gradu- 

 ated from Groznyi Oil Institute in 1932 and taught there. In 

 1934-1943 he taught at the Moscow Aviation Institute and sub- 

 sequently at the Moscow Engineering-Physics Institute where 

 he became professor in 1949. From 1944 to 1949 he worked at 

 the Institute of Mechanics of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 

 Millionshchikov has been a member of the Communist Party of 

 the Soviet Union since 1947. In 1953 he was elected a Corre- 

 sponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, and in 

 June 1962, an Academician. He is the recipient of a Stalin 

 Prize. 



Millionshchikov' s main work is in theory of turbulence, the 

 theory of filtration, and applied gas dynamics. He investigated 

 isotropic turbulence in the terminal stages of its degeneration. 

 In the theory of filtration, he developed methods for exploiting 

 oil wells. In applied gas dynamics, he studied gas ejectors and 

 their use. 



As of 1961, Millionshchikov was a Vice President of the 

 U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences.
