Dmitry Nikolaevich Zubarev (Russian: Дми́трий Никола́евич Зу́барев; November 27, 1917 – July 29, 1992) was a 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.
Dmitry Zubarev was born in Moscow in the family of an engineer. In 1941, he graduated from the Physics Department at Moscow State University and soon after that, on 25 June 1941, volunteered to the People's Volunteer Сorps to participate in Second World War. He participated in the Battle of Moscow and met the end of the war in Berlin with the 47th Army of the First Belorussian Front.
After the war he worked for several years on various military related research projects in Arzamas-16. In this period of time he was greatly influenced by Nikolay Bogoliubov and Andrei Sakharov. Then, in 1954 he moved to Steklov Institute of Mathematics, where continued to work for the rest of his life.
His first research in Arzamas-16 was devoted to various applications of plasma theory, including analysis of stationary regimes for nuclear reactors (jointly with V. N. Klimov) and analysis of temperature jumps of plasma in magnetic field.
