All-Russian Conference and School for Young Scientists, devoted to 100th Anniversary of Academician L.V. Ovsiannikov “Mathematical problems of continuum mechanics”

Preface The present volume of the Journal of Physics: Conference Series represents contributions from participants of the All-Russian conference and school for young scientists, devoted to 100th anniversary of academician L.V. Ovsiannikov “Mathematical problems of continuum mechanics” held at the Technopark of Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, Russia, on May 13–17, 2019 organized by Lavrentyev Institute of Hydrodynamics and Novosibirsk State University. The conference is traditional and attracts attention of mathematicians and physicists. This year the Conference was dedicated to the 100 th anniversary of Academician of the Russian Academy of Science Lev V. Ovsiannikov (22 April 1919 – 23 May 2014), an outstanding Russian scientist in the field of mechanics and mathematics. Results of L.V. Ovsiannikov in the gas dynamics, the theory of fluid motion with free boundaries, in the field of mathematical justification of the models of continuum mechanics became classical and served as the beginning of new scientific directions. The methods of group analysis of differential equations developed by him are widely used in various fields of mathematics, mechanics, and theoretical physics. Scientific activities of the Conference include discussion of actual problems of applied mathematics, mechanics and methods of mathematical modelling, as well as their applications for describing and forecasting natural and technical processes. The program of conference included plenary talks (30 minutes), oral presentations (20 minutes) and poster presentations given by 190 participants from 18 cities of Russia (Moscow, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Ufa, Barnaul, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Tomsk, Yekaterinburg, Kemerovo, Perm, Tyumen, St Petersburg), Kazakhstan, Belarus, France (Marseille), Germany (Darmstadt) and Canada (St Catharines). A significant part of talks (about 30%) were presented by young researchers and postgraduate students. Within the school of young scientists, lectures on topical problems of continuum mechanics were given. We would like to thank the Speakers for their significant contributions to the conference. We also would like to thank the members of the Organizing Committee. We cannot end without expressing our many thanks to our sponsors (Russian Foundation for Basic Research, Ministry of Science and Education of the Russian Federation, Novosibirsk State University) for their financial support.
