The article presents the results of numerical simulation of the generation of free fire vortices in the laboratory without the use of special twisting devices. A. Yu. Varaksin, the corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in his experimental studies has described the principal possibility of physical modeling of the occurrence of concentrated fire vortices.  In the model of a compressible continuous medium for the complete system of Navier — Stokes equations, an initial-boundary value problem has been proposed that describes complex three-dimensional unsteady flows of a viscous compressible heat-conducting gas in ascending swirling heat flows. We has constructed approximate solutions of the complete Navier — Stokes system of equations and has determined velocity characteristics of threedimensional unsteady gas flows initiated by local heating of the underlying surface by nineteen heat sources, using explicit difference schemes and the proposed initial-boundary conditions.

This article presents the results of numerical simulation of free fire vortices arising in laboratory conditions. The authors demonstrate the possibility of obtaining such concentrated fire vortices in a series of experimental studies conducted under the supervision of A. &nbsp;Yu. &nbsp;Varaksin, a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, at the Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Sciences.<br> The authors propose to consider the analytical and numerical studies of arising complex swirling gas flows during local heating of a metal underlying surface by several sources from the point of view of gas dynamics. When considering complex flows of a heating gas as a motion of a viscous, heat-conducting, and compressible continuous medium, the complete system of Navier&nbsp;— Stokes equations is used. The proposed initial-boundary conditions made it possible to numerically determine the main gas-dynamic characteristics of the resulting three-dimensional and unsteady gas flows in free fire vortices.<br> The calculation results showed that during the formation of fiery vortices, several stages are distinguished in their development. The first stage is characterized by the occurrence of local gas flows diverging in the radial direction from the heating regions. The second stage is accompanied by the formation in the regions of the location of the heating sources of local vortices with opposite spin directions. The third stage is characterized by the fact that from smaller vortices due to the intense influx of external air a common large thermal vortex is formed, which receives a positive twist under the influence of the Coriolis force. At the fourth stage, with an increase in the rotation speed, a decrease in the vertical dimensions of the thermal vortex and its decay into several small ones is observed. Thus, the completion of the life cycle of one concentrated vortex is replaced by the formation of a new one. For the initial parameters, the lifetime of the concentrated thermal vortex is about one minute.


The modifications of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, which I suggested earlier for the description of viscous fluid flows with large gradients of velocities, are considered. It is proved that the first initial-boundary value problem for these equations in any bounded three-dimensional domain has a compact minimal global B-attractor. Some properties of the attractor are established.

The article considers the features of numerical construction of solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations full system describing a three-dimensional flow of compressible viscous heat-conducting gas under the action of gravity and Coriolis forces. It is shown that accounting of dissipative properties of viscosity and thermal conductivity of the moving continuum, even with constant coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity, as well as the use of explicit difference scheme calculation imposes significant restrictions on numerical experiments aimed at studying the arising complex flows of gas or liquid. First of all, it is associated with a signifi- cant complication of the system of equations, the restrictions on the value of the calculated steps in space and time, increasing the total computation time. One of the options is proposed of algorithm parallelization of numerical solution of the complete Navier - Stokes equations system in the vertical spatial coordinate. This parallelization option can significantly increase the computing performance and reduce the overall time of counting. A comparison of the results of calculation of one of options of gas flow in the upward swirling flow obtained by serial and parallel programs is presented.

The method of parallelizing a numerical solution of the complete system of Navier - Stokes equations is used to describe three-dimensional unsteady flows of a viscous compressible heat-conducting gas in ascending swirling flows. In this case, the action of gravity and Coriolis forces is taken into account, the coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity are assumed to be constant. The results of numerical calculations of the thermodynamic characteristics of flows on smaller computational grids are presented in simulation of the output to the stationary mode of an ascending swirling air flow in an artificially created tornado. We numerically determined the values of density, temperature, and pressure for various fixed times and for different heights of the calculated region. The research shows that in the process of accelerating the gas flow in the center of vertical region a funnel-shaped region with reduced values of density, temperature, and pressure is observed.

This paper is concerned with the initial boundary value problem for the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity. The cylindrically symmetric strong solution is shown to exist globally in time and tend to the equilibrium state exponentially as time grows up.

The initial-boundary value problem for the non-homogeneous Navier-Stokes equations including the slipping on the solid boundary is considered. The unique solvability is established locally in time for the three-dimensional problem and globally in time for the two-dimensional problem without so-called smallness restrictions.

A system of partial differential equations governing the three-dimensional unsteady flow of a homogeneous two-component mixture of heat-conducting viscous compressible fluids (gases) is considered within the multivelocity approach. The model is complete in the sense that it retains all terms in the equations, which are a natural generalization of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier model for the motion of a single-component medium. The existence of weak solutions to the initial-boundary value problem describing the flow in a bounded domain is proved globally in time and the input data.

AbstractWe study an initial-boundary value problem of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations in the exterior of a cylinder $\Pi =\{x=(x_{h}, x_3)\ \vert \vert x_{h} \vert \gt 1\}$, subject to the slip boundary condition. We construct unique global solutions for axisymmetric initial data $u_0\in L^{3}\cap L^{2}(\Pi )$ satisfying the decay condition of the swirl component $ru^{\theta }_{0}\in L^{\infty }(\Pi )$.
