National committee of Russian Academy of Science (RAS) on theoretical and applied mechanics instituted premium named after G. I. Petrov for Russian scientists who achieve distinguished results in the theory of hydrodynamic instability and turbulence.

The competition is announced once in two years. The works of Russian scientists can take part in competition if other Russian prizes have not awarded them. The work can be fulfilled both one person and by group of authors. Two prizes are instituted: the first grade and the second grade.

Competition jury makes the decision about prize awarding. The decision is published in magazines "Izvestiya RAN. Mekhanika Zhidkosty i Gasa" and "Vestnik Akedemii Estestvoznaniya".

The awards are presented during International winter conference of Moscow State University.

The work for competition in three copies should be sent in Russian to the jury chairman academician G. G. Cherny by address: Institute of Mechanics of MSU, Michurinsky prospect 1, Moscow, Russia, 119192. Phone/fax +7 (095) 9395136.
