Dmitry Nikolayevich Zubarev (Russian: Дми́трий Никола́евич Зу́барев; November 27, 1917 – July 29, 1992) was a Soviet and Russian theoretical physicist known for his contributions to statistical mechanics, non-equilibrium thermodynamics, plasma physics, theory of turbulence, and to the development of the double-time Green function's formalism.
He participated in the Battle of Moscow and met the end of the war in Berlin with the 47th Army of the 1st Belorussian Front.
He made a significant contribution to the theory of double-time temperature Green's functions in statistical mechanics, where his work [1] became world-famous.
This method allowed him to include non-equilibrium phenomena in the framework of statistical mechanics in a natural way following the ideas of Josiah Willard Gibbs.
Using the NSO method, he constructed relativistic thermodynamics and relativistic hydrodynamics, the statistical transport theory for systems of particles with internal degrees of freedom, and the statistical thermodynamics for turbulent transport processes.
