Heat Mass Transfer Simulation Laboratory

Heat Mass Transfer Simulation Lab (HMTSLab) has been established in Tomsk, Russia since 2012 upon a decision of the Academic Council of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU). The main tasks of HMTSLab are to provide preparation and defence of PhD and doctoral theses, to publish research results in top-rated journals, to find financial resources to purchase research equipment, to raise extra-budgetary funds to represent TPU at the highest level, i.e. to take part in contests from the Government and the President of the Russian Federation to win prizes and grants, etc. Pavel A. Strizhak and Olga V. Vysokomornaya have been the original members of the future laboratory. In 2012, Dmitriy O. Glushkov, Arkadiy V. Zaharevich, and Roman S. Volkov have become the HMTSLab members. In 2014-2017, the team of HMTSLab has increased by six members and five postgraduate students. At this time, HMTSLab includes ten members and annually expands the number of postgraduate, graduate, and undergraduate students.  The research interests of the HMTSLab members have considerably enlarged from the moment of establishment and now include the following: fire extinguishing, high-temperature purification of liquids, fuel ignition, development of new fuels from waste, soil thawing, contactless measurement methods, etc.
