Biography[edit]

In 1973, Anatoly Maslov defended his Ph.D. thesis "Stability of a compressible boundary layer over a cooled surface"; in 1988, he defended his doctoral dissertation "The onset of turbulence in supersonic boundary layers".[1] In the same year, the scientist became the head of Laboratory No.13 of Physical Problems of Control of Gas-Dynamic Flows at the Khristianovich Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.[2] Thanks to the skills of experimental work and numerical simulation in supersonic aerodynamics, as well as experience in large aerodynamic installations, he significantly intensified the scientific activity of the laboratory.[2]

Suspicion of state treason and arrest[edit]

On June 28, 2022, Anatoly Maslov was arrested on suspicion of state treason. He was taken by plane to Moscow and placed in the Lefortovo pre-trial detention center.
