In the paper we consider the inverse problem of evaluating kinetic parameters of the model of dehydriding of metal powder using experimental data. The «blind search» in the space of parameters revealed multiple physically reasonable solutions. The solutions were obtained using high–performance computational modeling based on BOINC–grid.

In this paper, we propose a new software for simulation of fluid-structure interaction. The software is designed for solving coupled problems and provides an interface for synchronization synchronisation and data exchange between existing fluid and structural solvers. Algorithms of coupling solvers and mesh deformation are discussed. The software can be used on hybrid CPU/GPU platforms.

The paper considers the problem of increasing the approximation order of transparent boundary conditions for the wave equation while using finite difference schemes up to the sixth order of accuracy in space. As an example, the problem of wave propagation in a semi-infinite rectangular waveguide is formulated. Computationally efficient and highly accurate formulas for discretizing operator of transparent boundary conditions are proposed. Numerical results confirm the accuracy and stability of the obtained difference algorithms.

The paper provides a review of the existing methods of signals’ processing within the conditions of the Rice statistical model applicability. There are considered the principle development directions, the existing limitations and the improvement possibilities concerning the methods of solving the tasks of noise suppression and analyzed signals’ filtration by the example of magnetic-resonance visualization. A conception of a new approach to joint calculation of Rician signal’s both parameters has been developed based on the method of moments in two variants of its implementation. The computer simulation and the comparative analysis of the obtained numerical results have been conducted.

It is discussed peculiarities of forming gas temperature fields in gas turbine engine low emission combustors. It is shown the influence of burn-up rate on combustor outlet temperature and proposed recommendation for design the dilution system for the combustor.

The approach to parallel implementation of low-frequency PIC-algorithms is proposed, taking into account peculiarity of the nonradiative (Darwin) field approximation. Its advantages and specifics of adaptation to the base computer types for high performance calculations are discussed.

The article presents an approach to configuration of an artificial neural network architecture and a training set size. Configuration is based on parameter minimization with constraints specifying neural network model quality criteria. The algorithm of artificial neural network architecture and training set size configuration is applied to dynamic object artificial neural network approximation.
Series of computational experiments were performed. The method is applicable to construction of dynamic object models based on non-linear autocorrelation neural networks.

– overview of the existing models to use the virtual clouds for ALICE data processing. Innovations are shown on the example of the Russian sites.

We investigate machine learning methods with a certain kind of decision rule. In particular, inverse-distance method of interpolation, method of interpolation by radial basis functions, the method of multidimensional interpolation and approximation, based on the theory of random functions, the last method of interpolation is kriging. This paper shows a method of rapid retraining “model” when adding new data to the existing ones. The term “model” means interpolating or approximating function constructed from the training data. This approach reduces the computational complexity of constructing an updated “model” from $O(n^3)$ to $O(n^2)$. We also investigate the possibility of a rapid assessment of generalizing opportunities “model” on the training set using the method of cross-validation leave-one-out cross-validation, eliminating the major drawback of this approach — the necessity to build a new “model” for each element which is removed from the training set.

A model of forest insect population dynamics used to simulate of “forest-insect” interactions and for estimation of possible damages of forest stand by pests. This model represented a population as control system where the input variables characterized the influence of modifier (climatic) factors and the feedback loop describes the effect of regulatory factors (parasites, predators and population interactions). The technique of stress testing on the basis of population dynamics model proposed for assessment of the risks of forest stand damage and destruction after insect impact. The dangerous forest pest pine looper Bupalus piniarius L. considered as the object of analysis. Computer experiments were conducted to assess of outbreak risks with possible climate change in the territory of Central Siberia. Model experiments have shown that risk of insect impact on the forest is not increased significantly in condition of sufficiently moderate warming (not more than 4 °C in summer period). However, a stronger warming in the territory of Central Siberia, combined with a dry summer condition could cause a significant increase in the risk of pine looper outbreaks.
