Grigory Isaakovich Barenblatt (born July 10, Russian mathematician. He graduated in 1950 from University of Moscow, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. He is now working at the Department of Mathematics of the University of California, Berkeley. His areas of research are:

  1. Fracture mechanics
  2. The theory of fluid and gas flows in porous media
  3. The mechanics of a non-classical deformable solids
  4. Turbulence
  5. Self-similarities, nonlinear waves and intermediate asymptotics.

He usually publishes the result of his studies in the Quarterly Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics (http://www3.oup.co.uk/qjmamj/).

Grigory Barenblatt, who is also a researcher with Berkeley Lab holding a joint faculty appointment with UC Berkeley, Chorin, and Valeriy Prostokishin of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology in Moscow, formerly a visiting Berkeley Lab researcher, describe their work in the June 25, 2005 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Barenblatt, Chorin, and Prostokishin developed their flow model from the "sandwich model" of tropical cyclones proposed by Sir James Lighthill, one of the greatest applied mathematicians of our times.
Chorin and Barenblatt are both experts in the development of computational methods for studying the flow of fluids and solving problems involving turbulence, considered to be one of most difficult in all of applied mathematics.
