The paper presents the results of numerical simulation of different-temperature water flows turbulent mixing in a T-junctions in the FlowVision software package. The article describes in detail an experimental stand specially designed to obtain boundary conditions that are simple for most computational fluid dynamics software systems. Values of timeaveraged temperatures and velocities in the control sensors and planes were obtained according to the test results. The article presents the system of partial differential equations used in the calculation describing the process of heat and mass transfer in a liquid using the Smagorinsky turbulence model. Boundary conditions are specified that allow setting the random velocity pulsations at the entrance to the computational domain. Distributions of time-averaged water velocity and temperature in control sections and sensors are obtained. The simulation is performed on various computational grids, for which the axes of the global coordinate system coincide with the directions of hot and cold water flows. The possibility for FlowVision PC to construct a computational grid in the simulation process based on changes in flow parameters is shown. The influence of such an algorithm for constructing a computational grid on the results of calculations is estimated. The results of calculations on a diagonal grid using a beveled scheme are given (the direction of the coordinate lines does not coincide with the direction of the tee pipes). The high efficiency of the beveled scheme is shown when modeling flows whose general direction does not coincide with the faces of the calculated cells. A comparison of simulation results on various computational grids is carried out. The numerical results obtained in the FlowVision PC are compared with experimental data and calculations performed using other computing programs. The results of modeling turbulent mixing of water flow of different temperatures in the FlowVision PC are closer to experimental data in comparison with calculations in CFX ANSYS. It is shown that the application of the LES turbulence model on relatively small computational grids in the FlowVision PC allows obtaining results with an error within 5%.

The paper presents the results of the fundamental research directed on the theoretical study and computer simulation of peculiarities of the quasi-harmonic signal’s phase statistical distribution. The quasi-harmonic signal is known to be formed as a result of the Gaussian noise impact on the initially harmonic signal. By means of the mathematical analysis the formulas have been obtained in explicit form for the principle characteristics of this distribution, namely: for the cumulative distribution function, the probability density function, the likelihood function. As a result of the conducted computer simulation the dependencies of these functions on the phase distribution parameters have been analyzed. The paper elaborates the methods of estimating the phase distribution parameters which contain the information about the initial, undistorted signal. It has been substantiated that the task of estimating the initial value of the phase of quasi-harmonic signal can be efficiently solved by averaging the results of the sampled measurements. As for solving the task of estimating the second parameter of the phase distribution, namely — the parameter, determining the signal level respectively the noise level — a maximum likelihood technique is proposed to be applied. The graphical illustrations are presented that have been obtained by means of the computer simulation of the principle characteristics of the phase distribution under the study. The existence and uniqueness of the likelihood function’s maximum allow substantiating the possibility and the efficiency of solving the task of estimating signal’s level relative to noise level by means of the maximum likelihood technique. The elaborated method of estimating the un-noised signal’s level relative to noise, i. e. the parameter characterizing the signal’s intensity on the basis of measurements of the signal’s phase is an original and principally new technique which opens perspectives of usage of the phase measurements as a tool of the stochastic data analysis. The presented investigation is meaningful for solving the task of determining the phase and the signal’s level by means of the statistical processing of the sampled phase measurements. The proposed methods of the estimation of the phase distribution’s parameters can be used at solving various scientific and technological tasks, in particular, in such areas as radio-physics, optics, radiolocation, radio-navigation, metrology.

Scheduling computational workflows represented by directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) is crucial in many areas of computer science, such as cloud/edge tasks with distributed workloads and data mining. The complexity of online DAG scheduling is compounded by the large number of computational nodes, data transfer delays, heterogeneity (by type and processing power) of executors, precedence constraints imposed by DAG, and the nonuniform arrival of tasks. This paper introduces the Multi-Agent Local Voting Protocol (MLVP), a novel approach focused on dynamic load balancing for DAG scheduling in heterogeneous computing environments, where executors are represented as agents. The MLVP employs a local voting protocol to achieve effective load distribution by formulating the problem as a differentiated consensus achievement. The algorithm calculates an aggregated DAG metric for each executor-node pair based on node dependencies, node availability, and executor performance. The balance of these metrics as a weighted sum is optimized using a genetic algorithm to assign tasks probabilistically, achieving efficient workload distribution via information sharing and reaching consensus among the executors across the system and thus improving makespan. The effectiveness of the MLVP is demonstrated through comparisons with the state-of-the-art DAG scheduling algorithm and popular heuristics such as DONF, FIFO, Min- Min, and Max-Min. Numerical simulations show that MLVP achieves makepsan improvements of up to 70% on specific graph topologies and an average makespan reduction of 23.99% over DONF (state-of-the-art DAG scheduling heuristic) across randomly generated diverse set of DAGs. Notably, the algorithm’s scalability is evidenced by enhanced performance with increasing numbers of executors and graph nodes.

The article presents updated technologies for solving two classes of linear resource allocation problems with dynamically changing characteristics of situational management systems and awareness of experts (and/or trained robots). The search for solutions is carried out in an interactive mode of computational experiment using updatable knowledge systems about problems considered as constructive objects (in accordance with the methodology of formalization of knowledge about programmable problems created in the theory of S-symbols). The technologies are focused on implementation in the form of Internet services. The first class includes resource allocation problems solved by the method of targeted solution movement. The second is the problems of allocating a single resource in hierarchical systems, taking into account the priorities of expense items, which can be solved (depending on the specified mandatory and orienting requirements for the solution) either by the interval method of allocation (with input data and result represented by numerical segments), or by the targeted solution movement method. The problem statements are determined by requirements for solutions and specifications of their applicability, which are set by an expert based on the results of the portraits of the target and achieved situations analysis. Unlike well-known methods for solving resource allocation problems as linear programming problems, the method of targeted solution movement is insensitive to small data changes and allows to find feasible solutions when the constraint system is incompatible. In single-resource allocation technologies, the segmented representation of data and results allows a more adequate (compared to a point representation) reflection of the state of system resource space and increases the practical applicability of solutions. The technologies discussed in the article are programmatically implemented and used to solve the problems of resource basement for decisions, budget design taking into account the priorities of expense items, etc. The technology of allocating a single resource is implemented in the form of an existing online cost planning service. The methodological consistency of the technologies is confirmed by the results of comparison with known technologies for solving the problems under consideration.

In this paper we present a mathematical model and numerical results on a propagation of the combustion front of the SHS compound, where the rate of chemical reaction at each point of the SHS sample is determined by solving the problem of diffusion and chemical reaction in the reaction cell. We obtained the dependence of the combustion front on the size of the average element of a heterogeneous structure with different values of the diffusion intensity. These dependences agree qualitatively with the experimental data. We studied the effect of activation energy for diffusion on the propagation velocity of combustion front. It is revealed the propagation of the combustion front transforms to an oscillatory regime at increase in activation energy of diffusion. A transition boundary of the combustion front propagation from the steady-state regime to the oscillatory one is defined.

In this paper the problem of automated building of a citation graph from a collection of scientific documents is considered as a sequence of machine learning tasks. The overall data processing technology is described which consists of six stages: preprocessing, metainformation extraction, bibliography lists extraction, splitting bibliography lists into separate bibliography records, standardization of each bibliography record, and record linkage. The goal of this paper is to provide a survey of approaches and algorithms suitable for each stage, motivate the choice of the best combination of algorithms, and adapt some of them for multilingual bibliographies processing. For some of the tasks new algorithms and heuristics are proposed and evaluated on the mixed English and Russian documents corpora.
