Teaching

Gives the course of lectures to RUDN students of bachelor’s and master’s studies in the direction “Applied Mathematics and Computer Science”,

  • “Additional chapters of computational methods”,
  • “Analytical and numerical methods for hydrodynamic problems”,
  • “Mathematical models of continuous media”.

Science

  • Studied non-stationary processes in the problems of mechanics of multiphase compressible media and plasma physics as a result of the implementation of a full cycle of mathematical simulation. As a result, new optimal cost-effective algorithms with the highest possible degree of parallelizability, which take into account the specifics of the task were developed. For example, self-gravity consideration, highly variable coefficients, etc. Created software for mathematical simulation (a computational experiment verified by comparison with a physical experiment).
  • Studied the dynamics of plasma and the efficiency of its retention in a new type of plasma trap with a low-temperature plasma. The results of numerical calculations are already used: in the design of new plasma “target traps” with inversion plugs and in the development of installations on counter electron-positron and proton beams, particle accelerators.
  • Studied essentially nonlinear processes of shock wave amplification and fluid destruction in bubble (cavitating) media that develop under shock-wave loading. When calculating problems with a “bubble cluster”, discovered new physical effects that can be used to create a “saser” - an acoustic analog of pulsed laser systems.
  • Studied the evolution of gravitationally unstable systems in the earth: the dynamics of mantle flows and the mechanism of magma destruction during the “explosive nature” of depressurization of a volcanic channel. In addition, when calculating problems with self-gravity, possible mechanisms for the origin of new galaxies were discovered - this allows us to consider new cosmological hypotheses. Simulates the erosion of tungsten samples under the influence of thermal pulse loads.

Melting in a tungsten plate exposed to a pulsed thermal load is numerically simulated by solving the two-phase Stefan problem. The free boundary is ignored during the calculation, since the numerical model is based on Samarskii’s approach. Calculations in axially symmetric geometry show that about a quarter of the incident energy is consumed by evaporation in the center of the melt region. This is five times more than estimates based on the solution of the one-dimensional heat equation. When tungsten evaporation is taken into account, the calculated and experimental cooling surface temperatures and radii of the melt region are in good agreement. The results of the mathematical modeling confirm the existence of an evaporation cooling mode when the tungsten is heated by an electron beam to temperatures significantly higher than the melting point.
A numerical model of oil displacement by a mixture of water and polymer based on the Peaceman model is considered. Numerical experiments were carried out using the DuMux package, which is a software library designed for modeling nonstationary hydrodynamic problems in porous media. The software package uses the vertex-centered variant of finite volume method. The effect of diffusion on the growth rate of “viscous fingers” has been studied. The dependencies of the leading front velocity on the value of model diffusion are obtained for three viscosity models. It is shown that the effect of numerical diffusion on the growth rate of “viscous fingers” imposes limitations on calculations for small values of model diffusion.
The article presents numerical simulation results for the problem of tungsten vapor propagation after its evaporating from a surface heated with a high-speed electron beam. The model is based on solving a system of gas dynamics equations written in a divergent form. The resulting system of equations is implemented via the Belotserkovsky large particle method. The distributions of density and temperature of vapors are obtained for a surface heated up to temperature of 8000 K. Calculations show that normal temperature distribution on the sample surface leads to a noticably spherical shape of the gas exit front.
In this paper, we present the numerical solution of the Stefan problem to calculate the temperature of the tungsten sample heated by the laser pulse. Mathematical modeling is carried out to analyze field experiments, where an instantaneous heating of the plate to 9000 K is observed due to the effect of a heat flow on its surface and subsequent cooling. The problem is characterized by nonlinear coefficients and boundary conditions. An important role is played by the evaporation of the metal from the heated surface. Basing on Samarskii's approach, we choose to implement the method of continuous counting considering the heat conductivity equation in a uniform form in the entire domain using the Dirac delta function. The numerical method has the second order of approximation with respect to space, the interval of smoothing of the coefficients is 5 K. As a result, we obtain the temperature distributions on the surface and in the cross section of the sample during cooling.
We study a model of the current distribution during heating of the surface of a tungsten sample under pulsed exposure to an electron beam. The model is based on solving the equations of electrodynamics and the two-phase Stefan problem for calculating the temperature in the sample region using a cylindrical coordinate system. The model parameters were taken from experiments at the «Beam of Electrons for materials Test Applications» (BETA) stand created at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. A particular case of axial symmetry is considered without taking the electromotive forces into account. The current is considered as a possible source of rotation of the substance which is observed in the experiment. The values of the current and the acceleration of matter at a surface temperature of over 6000 K were obtained. The results of the performed simulation show that, to obtain an acceleration capable of initiating the experimentally observed rotation of the melt, it is necessary to take into account some alternative mechanisms of creating a current in the system with consideration of the evaporation of tungsten above the plate.
Experiments on the effect of fast heat loads on the surface of tungsten were carried out on the BETA facility at the Budker Institute. Tungsten samples were uniformly heated by an electron beam with a heat flux factor below the melting threshold. During and shortly after exposure, the 2D surface temperature distribution was measured, as well as the temperature history on selected surface areas. Active diagnostics using the scattering of CW laser light on a surface exposed by the electron beam allowed us to monitor the damage dynamics. At the heating stage, an increase in the surface roughness occurred, caused by inhomogeneous elastic and plastic deformations of the heated layer. As the cooling progressed, the residual plastic deformations remained. Simultaneously with the modification of the surface, bending of samples with a thickness of 3-4 mm occurred. The bending dynamics of the sample was measured by the intensity of a converging laser beam reflected from the back surface of the sample, polished to a mirror state. The residual sag due to bending increases with the heat load similarly as residual roughness of the front surface of the sample. These data, together with simultaneously measured temperature dynamics and the spatial heating profile, can provide an experimental basis for the numerical calculation of the residual stresses in the sample. The data obtained in situ were compared with those measured outside the vacuum chamber with X-ray diffraction, optical profiler, and optical interferometer. At the stage of cooling, after a sufficient intensity of heating, the second stage of damage took place — the cracking of the surface layer. The time before the start of this relatively fast process usually exceeded the time to achieve a DBTT by 1–4 orders of magnitude.
The paper is devoted to the numerical implementation of a model of the dynamics of the tungsten vapors flow evaporating from the sample surface. To calculate the speed and mass flow rate of the substance evaporating from the sample surface, a system of gas dynamics equations is numerically solved. The boundary conditions for the gas velocity and density on the heated surface have a great influence on the solution of the problem. Boundary conditions for temperature are obtained as a result of solving the two-phase Stefan problem in a cross-section of the sample. The aim of the study is to model the erosion of the sample surface and penetration of heat flow into the material.

The work is devoted to the numerical implementation of the tungsten evaporation process model. The tungsten evaporation model is based on solving the two-phase Stefan problem for temperature in the sample area and gas dynamics equations over the sample. The calculation results for parameters corresponding to those used on the BETA facility at BINP SB RAS show that it is possible to use the boundary homogeneous conditions of the Neumann for the velocity when setting the gas density on the plate surface.
This paper presents a model for calculating deformations and mechanical stresses around a crack normal to surface that appeared under pulsed heat load. The model was applied to calculation of stresses that may lead to formation of cracks along the surface, which are observed when tungsten is exposed to ITER-relevant heat load. It was found that such stresses might be not negligibly small in comparison with the ultimate tensile strength, and thus the appearance of cracks normal to the surface may leads to development of cracks parallel to the surface. The calculated deformation of the region around a crack is in good agreement with the experimental data. The deformations calculated can be a basis for experimental detection of formation of cracks normal and parallel to the surface.
A calculation of the current distribution in the medium has been added to the mathematical model of melting of a tungsten plate exposed to a pulsed electron beam. The model takes into account the heterogeneity of the resistivity. This makes it possible to simulate inhomogeneous heated material. It is expected that the current will spread to the depth due to the increased resistance of the heated part. By changing the thickness of the tungsten plate, it is possible to increase the current density in the melt. The results of calculations of parameters corresponding to the parameters used at the BETA installation of the Institute of Nuclear Physics. Budker SB RAS, show that current concentration does not occur. The ampere force is not large enough for the rotation observed in the experiments.
Surface melting of tungsten under exposure to a pulsed electron beam was simulated numerically, the evaporation process taken into account. The calculation is based on the experimental time dependence of the total beam power. The model of the tungsten heating process is based on solving the two-phase Stefan problem. The position of the phase boundary depends on discontinuous nonlinear coefficients. The aim of the study is to provide a detailed resolution of the heat flow deep into the material with a fine spatial grid step. As compared with the size of the tungsten plate, the heating depth is very small. The problem statement under consideration is multiscale. Further expansion of the model involves gas dynamics equations to simulate the dynamics of the liquid and gaseous phases of the metal. Two approaches to solving the equation for temperature are considered: the implicit run method and the explicitly solvable Konovalov-Popov model. The results of calculations correlate with the experimental data obtained at the experimental stand Beam of Electrons for materials Test Applications (BETA) at Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) of the SB RAS.

Melting of the surface of tungsten exposed to a pulsed electron beam has been simulated numerically. Comparison of the experimentally measured at BETA facility time dependence of the radius of the molten region with the calculated data has shown that the surface cooling caused by evaporation has a significant effect on the temperature distribution and melting of the material at sufficiently high densities of the surface heating power. This result validates the created theoretical model of the tungsten melting and evaporation in exposure to a pulsed electron beam. The studied mechanism of the limitation of the surface temperature is different from the well-studied vapor shielding. The presented model is a step to correct interpretation of the erosion caused by the melt motion and splashing in exposure to the ITER-relevant pulsed heating by electron beam.

A plasma target for highly efficient neutralization of powerful negative ion beams is considered. The plasma is confined within a magnetic trap with multipole magnetic walls. It is proposed to use inverse magnetic mirrors to limit plasma outflow through the inlet and outlet holes in the trap. Using the particle-in-cell method, mathematical simulation of plasma dynamics in the trap has been performed. The estimates of plasma distribution and particle confinement efficiency in the region of the magnetic mirrors has been obtained. Simulation results were compared with experimental data.
The INP SB RAS proposed a magnetic trap with a weak longitudinal field and inverse plugs (with an inverse field). In a trap with a weak longitudinal field, it is advisable to limit the radial plasma losses by multipole magnetic walls of annular geometry. In an axisymmetric trap with annular magnetic surfaces, there is no azimuthal component of the field, as well as no stationary azimuthal electric field. The experiments are accompanied by calculations of the passage of the control plasma components (protons, atoms, negative ions) through the trap. A mathematical model of plasma dynamics in a trap is implemented in the form of a software package for a multiprocessor super-computer.
