Abstract: Except theoretical interest, the problem is of paramount importance for practical applications in three different aspects. Parametric excitation of oscillations in continua serves for intensification of various technological and technical processes, e.g. heat and mass transfer, mixing, decreasing of viscosity and conductivity, improving a quality for crystallizating metal, etc. Second, excitation of parameter oscillations is used for disintegration of jet/film flows (spray-coating, metal spraying, granulation of materials, e.g. particles’ producing from molten metals). And the third is opposite to the second one, suppression of oscillations for stabilization of unstable regimes/processes, for example, thermal, electromechanical and electrochemical, combustion, and so on. Moreover, sometimes parametric control leads to a process impossible without it.

Brief Biography of the Speaker:
Ivan Kazachkov is a Mechanical Engineer. He earned his PhD (Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, 1981) and MSc (1976) at the National Taras Shevchenko University in the City of Kyiv in USSR. His Full Doctorship (1991) in Engineering Sciences he has got at the Institute of Physics of Riga, Latvian Academy of Sciences. Presently he is teaching at the National Technical University of Ukraine “KPI”. He is also an Affiliated professor at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, where he has been teaching numerical methods and doing research in modeling of multiphase systems as visiting professor during the period of about ten years (since 1999 until 2004 permanently). His research activities include Parametric Control in Continua, Multiphase Flows, Controlled Film Flow Disintegration and Granulation of Metals for Space Industry, Modeling and Simulation. He has more than 200 publications in scientific journals and scientific conferences. He participates in European research programs and committees. Many PhD students are doing research under his supervision.
