of research is on steam, gas, and hydroturbine installations. Other research 
interests of the Laboratory include vibration dampening and stabilization of 
machine rotors, hydrodynamic coupling, hydrodynamic flow, centrifugal and 
axial compressors, and gas-turbine installations with regenerative exhaust- 
gas heat. 
In 1960, the Laboratory was equipped with a URAL digital computer. 
The Candidate’s Degree is offered, and papers and writings of the staff and 
students are published in the Trudy of the Laboratory.

Description: 
Organized in 1944, the Laboratory conducts research in theoretical 
hydrogeology and engineering geology. This research includes studies of 
subterranean waters and physical and mechanical properties of rock forma- 
tions; the interconnection between subterranean waters and surface flow; the 
zonation of mineral waters in the U.S.S.R.; the influence of the saline 
complex of rocks on the origin of subterranean waters; the theory of the 
origin of subterranean waters in various regions; the physical-technical 
characteristics of alluvial deposits; and the processes of karst formation. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.
