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 work is devoted to numerical modeling of two-phase flows, namely, the calculation of supersonic flow around a blunt body by a viscous gas flow with an admixture of large high inertia particles. The system of unsteady Navier – Stokes equations is numerically solved by the meshless method. It uses the cloud of points in space to represent the fields of gas parameters. The spatial derivatives of gas parameters and functions are approximated by the least square method to calculate convective and viscous fluxes in the Navier – Stokes system of equations. The convective fluxes are calculated by the HLLC method. The third-order MUSCL reconstruction scheme is used to achieve high order accuracy. The viscous fluxes are calculated by the second order approximation scheme. The streamlined body surface is represented by a model of an isothermal wall. It implements the conditions for the zero velocity and zero pressure gradient, which is also modeled using the least squares method.

Every moving body is surrounded by its own cloud of points belongs to body’s domain and moving along with it in space. The explicit three-sage Runge–Kutta method is used to solve numerically the system of gas dynamics equations in the main coordinate system and local coordinate systems of each particle.

Two methods for the moving objects modeling with reverse impact on the gas flow have been implemented. The first one uses stationary point clouds with fixed neighbors within the same domain. When regions overlap, some nodes of one domain, for example, the boundary nodes of the particle domain, are excluded from the calculation and filled with the values of gas parameters from the nearest nodes of another domain using the least squares approximation of gradients. The internal nodes of the particle domain are used to reconstruct the gas parameters in the overlapped nodes of the main domain. The second method also uses the exclusion of nodes in overlapping areas, but in this case the nodes of another domain take the place of the excluded neighbors to build a single connected cloud of nodes. At the same time, some of the nodes are moving, and some are stationary. Nodes membership to different domains and their relative speed are taken into account when calculating fluxes.

The results of modeling the motion of a particle in a stationary gas and the flow around a stationary particle by an incoming flow at the same relative velocity show good agreement for both presented methods.

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 numerical solving of the system of high-temperature radiative gas dynamics (HTRGD) equations is a computationally laborious task, since the interaction of radiation with matter is nonlinear and non-local. The radiation absorption coefficients depend on temperature, and the temperature field is determined by both gas-dynamic processes and radiation transport. The method of splitting into physical processes is usually used to solve the HTRGD system, one of the blocks consists of a joint solving of the radiative transport equation and the energy balance equation of matter under known pressure and temperature fields. Usually difference schemes with orders of convergence no higher than the second are used to solve this block. Due to computer memory limitations it is necessary to use not too detailed grids to solve complex technical problems. This increases the requirements for the order of approximation of difference schemes. In this work, bicompact schemes of a high order of approximation for the algorithm for the joint solution of the radiative transport equation and the energy balance equation are implemented for the first time. The proposed method can be applied to solve a wide range of practical problems, as it has high accuracy and it is suitable for solving problems with coefficient discontinuities. The non-linearity of the problem and the use of an implicit scheme lead to an iterative process that may slowly converge. In this paper, we use a multiplicative HOLO algorithm named the quasi-diffusion method by V.Ya.Goldin. The key idea of HOLO algorithms is the joint solving of high order (HO) and low order (LO) equations. The high-order equation (HO) is the radiative transport equation solved in the energy multigroup approximation, the system of quasi-diffusion equations in the multigroup approximation (LO₁) is obtained by averaging HO equations over the angular variable. The next step is averaging over energy, resulting in an effective one-group system of quasi-diffusion equations (LO₂), which is solved jointly with the energy equation. The solutions obtained at each stage of the HOLO algorithm are closely related that ultimately leads to an acceleration of the convergence of the iterative process. Difference schemes constructed by the method of lines within one cell are proposed for each of the stages of the HOLO algorithm. The schemes have the fourth order of approximation in space and the third order of approximation in time. Schemes for the transport equation were developed by B.V. Rogov and his colleagues, the schemes for the LO₁ and LO₂ equations were developed by the authors. An analytical test is constructed to demonstrate the declared orders of convergence. Various options for setting boundary conditions are considered and their influence on the order of convergence in time and space is studied.

The need to model high-speed flows of compressible media with shock waves in the presence of dense curtains or layers of particles arises when studying various processes, such as the dispersion of particles from a layer behind a shock wave or propagation of combustion waves in heterogeneous explosives. These directions have been successfully developed over the past few decades, but the corresponding mathematical models and computational algorithms continue to be actively improved. The mechanisms of wave processes in two-phase media differ in different models, so it is important to continue researching and improving these models.

The paper is devoted to the numerical study of the propagation of disturbances inside a sand bed under the action of successive impacts of a normally incident air shock wave. The setting of the problem follows the experiments of A. T.Akhmetov with co-authors. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible reasons for signal amplification on the pressure sensor within the bed, as observed under some conditions in experiments. The mathematical model is based on a one-dimensional system of Baer –Nunziato equations for describing dense flows of two-phase media taking into account intergranular stresses in the particle phase. The computational algorithm is based on the Godunov method for the Baer – Nunziato equations.

The paper describes the dynamics of waves inside and outside a particle bed after applying first and second pressure pulses to it. The main components of the flow within the bed are filtration waves in the gas phase and compaction waves in the solid phase. The compaction wave, generated by the first pulse and reflected from the walls of the shock tube, interacts with the filtration wave caused by the second pulse. As a result, the signal measured by the pressure sensor inside the bed has a sharp peak, explaining the new effect observed in experiments.

This article proposes a numeric method of solution of quasilinear parabolic equations, based on the flux approximation, describes the implementation of the method on a rectangular grid and presents numerical results. Unlike methods used in common practice, this method uses an approximation of flows in non-dilated template. For each iteration of the Newton method it is possible to solve a linear problem using the method of upper relaxation (SOR). Compared with the methods of flux sweeping, the considered method has greater potential for use in modern parallel computing system.

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.

This article represents numerical simulation technique for determining effective spectral electromagnetic properties (effective electrical conductivity and relative dielectric permittivity) of saturated porous media. Information about these properties is vastly applied during the interpretation of petrophysical exploration data of boreholes and studying of rock core samples. The main feature of the present paper consists in the fact, that it involves three-dimensional saturated digital rock models, which were constructed based on the combined data considering microscopic structure of the porous media and the information about capillary equilibrium of oil-water mixture in pores. Data considering microscopic structure of the model are obtained by means of X-ray microscopic tomography. Information about distributions of saturating fluids is based on hydrodynamic simulations with density functional technique. In order to determine electromagnetic properties of the numerical model time-domain Fourier transform of Maxwell equations is considered. In low frequency approximation the problem can be reduced to solving elliptic equation for the distribution of complex electric potential. Finite difference approximation is based on discretization of the model with homogeneous isotropic orthogonal grid. This discretization implies that each computational cell contains exclusively one medium: water, oil or rock. In order to obtain suitable numerical model the distributions of saturating components is segmented. Such kind of modification enables avoiding usage of heterogeneous grids and disregards influence on the results of simulations of the additional techniques, required in order to determine properties of cells, filled with mixture of media. Corresponding system of differential equations is solved by means of biconjugate gradient stabilized method with multigrid preconditioner. Based on the results of complex electric potential computations average values of electrical conductivity and relative dielectric permittivity is calculated. For the sake of simplicity, this paper considers exclusively simulations with no spectral dependence of conductivities and permittivities of model components. The results of numerical simulations of spectral dependence of effective characteristics of heterogeneously saturated porous media (electrical conductivity and relative dielectric permittivity) in broad range of frequencies and multiple water saturations are represented in figures and table. Efficiency of the presented approach for determining spectral electrical properties of saturated rocks is discussed in conclusion.

The different types of the reduced equations are known in the dynamics a heavy rigid body with a fixed point. Since the Euler−Poisson’s equations admit the three first integrals, then for the first approach the obtaining new forms of equations are usually based on these integrals. The system of six scalar equations can be transformed to a third-order system with them. However, in indicated approach the reduced system will have a feature as in the form of radical expressions a relatively the components of the angular velocity vector. This fact prevents the effective the effective application of numerical and asymptotic methods of solutions research. In the second approach the different types of variables in a problem are used: Euler’s angles, Hamilton’s variables and other variables. In this approach the Euler−Poisson’s equations are reduced to either the system of second-order differential equations, or the system for which the special methods are effective. In the article the method of finding the reduced system based on the introduction of an auxiliary variable is applied. This variable characterizes the mixed product of the angular momentum vector, the vector of vertical and the unit vector barycentric axis of the body. The system of four differential equations, two of which are linear differential equations was obtained. This system has no analog and does not contain the features that allows to apply to it the analytical and numerical methods. Received form of equations is applied for the analysis of a special class of solutions in the case when the center of mass of the body belongs to the barycentric axis. The variant in which the sum of the squares of the two components of the angular momentum vector with respect to not barycentric axes is constant. It is proved that this variant exists only in the Steklov’s solution. The obtained form of Euler−Poisson’s equations can be used to the investigation of the conditions of existence of other classes of solutions. Certain perspectives obtained equations consists a record of all solutions for which the center of mass is on barycentric axis in the variables of this article. It allows to carry out a classification solutions of Euler−Poisson’s equations depending on the order of invariant relations. Since the equations system specified in the article has no singularities, it can be considered in computer modeling using numerical methods.

The reentry vehicle of the transportation spacecraft that is being created by RSC Energia in regular mode makes soft landing on land surface using a parachute system and thruster devices. But in not standard situations the reentry vehicle also is capable of executing a splashdown. In that case, it becomes important to define the hydrodynamics impact on the reentry vehicle at the moment of the first contact with the surface of water and during submersion into water medium, and to study the dynamics of the vehicle behavior at more recent moments of time.

This article presents results of numerical studies of hydrodynamics forces on the conical vehicle during splashdown, done with the FlowVision software. The paper reviews the cases of the splashdown with inactive solid rocket motors on calm sea and the cases with interactions between rocket jets and the water surface. It presents data on the allocation of pressure on the vehicle in the process of the vehicle immersion into water medium and dynamics of the vehicle behavior after splashdown. The paper also shows flow structures in the area of the reentry vehicle at the different moments of time, and integral forces and moments acting on the vehicle.

For simulation process with moving interphases in the FlowVision software realized the model VOF (volume of fluid). Transfer of the phase boundary is described by the equation of volume fraction of this continuous phase in a computational cell. Transfer contact surface is described by the convection equation, and at the surface tension is taken into account by the Laplace pressure. Key features of the method is the splitting surface cells where data is entered the corresponding phase. Equations for both phases (like the equations of continuity, momentum, energy and others) in the surface cells are accounted jointly.
