A hyperbolic model of a viscous heat-conducting gas is presented, in which the Maxwell – Cattaneo approach is used to hyperbolize the equations, which provides finite wave propagation velocities. In the modified model, instead of the original Stokes and Fourier laws, their relaxation analogues were used and it is shown that when the relaxation times $\tau_\sigma^{}$ и $\tau_w^{}$ tend to The hyperbolized equations are reduced to zero to the classical Navier – Stokes system of non-hyperbolic type with infinite velocities of viscous and heat waves. It is noted that the hyperbolized system of equations of motion of a viscous heat-conducting gas considered in this paper is invariant not only with respect to the Galilean transformations, but also with respect to rotation, since the Yaumann derivative is used when differentiating the components of the viscous stress tensor in time. To integrate the equations of the model, the hybrid Godunov method (HGM) and the multidimensional nodal method of characteristics were used. The HGM is intended for the integration of hyperbolic systems in which there are equations written both in divergent form and not resulting in such (the original Godunov method is used only for systems of equations presented in divergent form). A linearized solver’s Riemann is used to calculate flow variables on the faces of adjacent cells. For divergent equations, a finitevolume approximation is applied, and for non-divergent equations, a finite-difference approximation is applied. To calculate a number of problems, we also used a non-conservative multidimensional nodal method of characteristics, which is based on splitting the original system of equations into a number of one-dimensional subsystems, for solving which a one-dimensional nodal method of characteristics was used. Using the described numerical methods, a number of one-dimensional problems on the decay of an arbitrary rupture are solved, and a two-dimensional flow of a viscous gas is calculated when a shock jump interacts with a rectangular step that is impermeable to gas.

The article presented the computational algorithm developed to study chemical processes in the internal flows of a multicomponent gas under the influence of laser radiation. The mathematical model is the gas dynamics’ equations with chemical reactions at low Mach numbers. It takes into account dissipative terms that describe the dynamics of a viscous heat-conducting medium with diffusion, chemical reactions and energy supply by laser radiation. This mathematical model is characterized by the presence of several very different time and spatial scales. The computational algorithm is based on a splitting scheme by physical processes. Each time integration step is divided into the following blocks: solving the equations of chemical kinetics, solving the equation for the radiation intensity, solving the convection-diffusion equations, calculating the dynamic component of pressure and calculating the correction of the velocity vector. The solution of a stiff system of chemical kinetics equations is carried out using a specialized explicit second-order accuracy scheme or a plug-in RADAU5 module. Numerical Rusanov flows and a WENO scheme of an increased order of approximation are used to find convective terms in the equations. The code based on the obtained algorithm has been developed using MPI parallel computing technology. The developed code is used to calculate the pyrolysis of ethane with radical reactions. The superequilibrium concentrations’ formation of radicals in the reactor volume is studied in detail. Numerical simulation of the reaction gas flow in a flat tube with laser radiation supply is carried out, which is in demand for the interpretation of experimental results. It is shown that laser radiation significantly increases the conversion of ethane and yields of target products at short lengths closer to the entrance to the reaction zone. Reducing the effective length of the reaction zone allows us to offer new solutions in the design of ethane conversion reactors into valuable hydrocarbons. The developed algorithm and program will find their application in the creation of new technologies of laser thermochemistry.

The article is devoted to the numerical study of shock-wave flows in inhomogeneous media–gas mixtures. In this work, a two-speed two-temperature model is used, in which the dispersed component of the mixture has its own speed and temperature. To describe the change in the concentration of the dispersed component, the equation of conservation of “average density” is solved. This study took into account interphase thermal interaction and interphase pulse exchange. The mathematical model allows the carrier component of the mixture to be described as a viscous, compressible and heat-conducting medium. The system of equations was solved using the explicit Mac-Cormack second-order finite-difference method. To obtain a monotone numerical solution, a nonlinear correction scheme was applied to the grid function. In the problem of shock-wave flow, the Dirichlet boundary conditions were specified for the velocity components, and the Neumann boundary conditions were specified for the other unknown functions. In numerical calculations, in order to reveal the dependence of the dynamics of the entire mixture on the properties of the solid component, various parameters of the dispersed phase were considered — the volume content as well as the linear size of the dispersed inclusions. The goal of the research was to determine how the properties of solid inclusions affect the parameters of the dynamics of the carrier medium — gas. The motion of an inhomogeneous medium in a shock duct divided into two parts was studied, the gas pressure in one of the channel compartments is more important than in the other. The article simulated the movement of a direct shock wave from a high-pressure chamber to a low–pressure chamber filled with a dusty medium and the subsequent reflection of a shock wave from a solid surface. An analysis of numerical calculations showed that a decrease in the linear particle size of the gas suspension and an increase in the physical density of the material from which the particles are composed leads to the formation of a more intense reflected shock wave with a higher temperature and gas density, as well as a lower speed of movement of the reflected disturbance reflected wave.
