The problem discrete statement by the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) include a discretization constants parameters set. Of them particular note is the model sound speed $c_0$, which relates the SPH-particle instantaneous density to the resulting pressure through the equation of state.

The paper describes an approach to the exact determination of the model sound speed required value. It is on the analysis based, how SPH-particle density changes with their relative shift. An example of the continuous medium motion taken the plane shear flow problem; the analysis object is the relative compaction function $\varepsilon_\rho$ in the SPH-particle. For various smoothing kernels was research the functions of $\varepsilon_\rho$, that allowed the pulsating nature of the pressures occurrence in particles to establish. Also the neighbors uniform distribution in the smoothing domain was determined, at which shaping the maximum of compaction in the particle.

Through comparison the function $\varepsilon_\rho$ with the SPH-approximation of motion equation is defined associate the discretization parameter $c_0$ with the smoothing kernel shape and other problem parameters. As a result, an equation is formulated that the necessary and sufficient model sound speed value provides finding. For such equation the expressions of root $c_0$ are given for three different smoothing kernels, that simplified from polynomials to numerical coefficients for the plane shear flow problem parameters.

The article is devoted to modeling the shallow water hydrodynamic processes using the example of the Azov Sea. The article presents a mathematical model of the hydrodynamics of a shallow water body, which allows one to calculate three-dimensional fields of the velocity vector of movement of the aquatic environment. Application of regularizers according to B.N.Chetverushkin in the continuity equation led to a change in the method of calculating the pressure field, based on solving the wave equation. A discrete finite-difference scheme has been constructed for calculating pressure in an area whose linear vertical dimensions are significantly smaller than those in horizontal coordinate directions, which is typical for the geometry of shallow water bodies. The method and algorithm for solving grid equations with a tridiagonal preconditioner are described. The proposed method is used to solve grid equations that arise when calculating pressure for the three-dimensional problem of hydrodynamics of the Azov Sea. It is shown that the proposed method converges faster than the modified alternating triangular method. A parallel implementation of the proposed method for solving grid equations is presented and theoretical and practical estimates of the acceleration of the algorithm are carried out taking into account the latency time of the computing system. The results of computational experiments for solving problems of hydrodynamics of the Sea of Azov using the hybrid MPI + OpenMP technology are presented. The developed models and algorithms were used to reconstruct the environmental disaster that occurred in the Sea of Azov in 2001 and to solve the problem of the movement of the aquatic environment in estuary areas. Numerical experiments were carried out on the K-60 hybrid computing cluster of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of Russian Academy of Sciences.

A new flow modeling method on unstructured grid was proposed. As a basis system this method used quasi-hydro-dynamic equations. The finite volume method vas used for solving these equations. The Delaunay triangulation was used for constructing mesh. This proposed method was tested in modeling of incompressible flow through a channel with complex profile. The acquired results showed that the proposed method could be used in flow modeling in unstructured grid.

The first solution for wind-induced flow of homogeneous fluid was found in 1905 by Ekman and it involved the sum of two components: the drift current determined by wind stress and the geostrophic current determined by slope of the free surface. Drift current is defined by the specific formula and can be easily analyzed. In order to find the geostrophic current it is necessary to solve an elliptic type equation in the area bounded by coastline and it is a more difficult problem. In this paper examples of areas and wind stresses are given for the case when the equations for finding the geostrophic current are solved analytically.

Mathematical model of infiltrative tumour growth taking into account transitions between two possible states of malignant cell is investigated. These transitions are considered to depend on oxygen level in a threshold manner: high oxygen concentration allows cell proliferation, while concentration below some critical value induces cell migration. Dependence of infiltrative tumour spreading rate on model parameters has been studied. It is demonstrated that if the level of tissue oxygenation is high, tumour spreading rate remains almost constant; otherwise the spreading rate decreases dramatically with oxygen depletion.

An approach to evaluation of a parametric portrait of integral equations of the theory of liquids in the RISM approximation was proposed. To obtain all associated solutions the continuation method was used. The equations reduced to a two-centered molecule model for symmetry reasons were deduced for molecular liquids. For molecular liquids, some equations were obtained which could be reduced, for symmetry reasons, to a two-center molecular model. To avoid critical points we changed the dependence of RISM-equations on reverse compressibility. The suggested method was used to perform numerical computations of methane reverse compressibility isotherms with three closures. No bifurcation of solutions was observed in the case of the partially linearized hypernetted chain closure. For other closures bifurcations of solutions were obtained and the model behavior nontypical for simple liquids was observed. In the case of Percus-Yevick closure nonphysical solutions were obtained at low temperature and density. Additional solution branch with a kink in the bifurcation point was obtained in the case of hypernetted chain closure at temperature above the critical point.

Numerical methods of obtaining collective and one-particle states were used for the quantum description of two-nuclear systems behavior at the initial stage of near-barrier heavy nuclei fusion. The collective exited states in such systems represent concordant oscillations of surfaces of spherical nuclei. The one-particle states of the external neutrons are similar to the states of valence electrons of diatomic molecules.

A two-dimensional system of excitable cells, describing by the FitzHugh-Nagumo model, has been used for a theoretical investigation of an action potential propagation (AP) in vascular plant tissues. It is shown that growth of electrical conductivity between cells increases the AP generation threshold and its propagation velocity in the homogeneous system, which has been formed by equal elements. The plant symplast has been
described by the heterogeneous system, including elements with low electrical conductivity, which simulate parenchyma cells, and elements with high electrical conductivity, which simulate sieve elements. Analysis of this system shows that the threshold of the AP generation is similar with this threshold in the homogeneous system
with low electrical conductivity; the velocity of the AP propagation is faster than one in this system.

A mathematical model for the evolution of microbial populations during prolonged cultivation in a chemostat has been constructed. This model generalizes the sequence of the well-known mathematical models of the evolution, in which such factors of the genetic variability were taken into account as chromosomal mutations, mutations in plasmid genes, the horizontal gene transfer, the plasmid loss due to cellular division and others. Liapunov’s function for the generic model of evolution is constructed. The existence proof of bounded, positive invariant and globally attracting set in the state space of the generic mathematical model for the evolution is presented because of the application of La-Salle’s theorem. The analytic description of this set is given. Numerical methods for estimate of the number of limit sets, its location and following investigation in the mathematical models for evolution are discussed.

The method of modelling of a compact bone tissue microstructure is presented. The modelling sample is considered as set of the structural elements containing reinforcing element – osteon and a matrix. The form of structural elements is defined by distances to next osteons and directions of next osteons arrangement. Calculation of the stress and strain state of the modelling sample is carried out at tension in program complex ANSYS. Results of calculation have shown, that haversian canals are stress concentrators.
