This paper deals with time-advancing schemes for shallow water equations. We review some of the existing numerical approaches, propose new schemes and investigate their stability. We present numerical results obtained using the time-advancing schemes proposed, with finite element and finite difference approximation in space variables.

The advancement of high-speed axial flow multistage compressors is impeded by a lack of detailed flow field information. Recent developments in compressor flow modeling and numerical simulation have the potential to provide needed information in a timely manner. This paper, which consists of two parts, will explore this topic. The first part will address the development of a computer program to solve the viscous form of the average-passage equation system for multistage turbomachinery. Programming issues such as in-core versus out-of-core data storage and CPU utilization (parallelization, vectorization, and chaining) will be addressed. Code performance will be evaluated through the simulation of the first four stages of a five stage, high-speed, axial flow compressor on a CRAY Y-MP8/8128 computer. The second part will address the flow physics which can be obtained from the numerical simulation. In particular, an examination of the endwall flow structure will be made, and its impact on blockage distribution assessed.

AbstractSome recent developments in the theory of particle acceleration at supernova shock fronts are reviewed and the confrontation of this theory with measurements of galactic cosmic rays and observations of supernova remnants is discussed. Supernova shock waves are able to account for the energetics, spectrum and composition of galactic cosmic rays, though it remains difficult to understand acceleration of ∼ 105 GeV particles. Recent developments in the analysis of interplanetary shock waves and in the numerical simulation of quasi-parallel shocks are encouraging. Interpretations of different categories of remnants are reviewed and a speculative interpretation of the optical companion to SN1987a is discussed.

The article deals with the recent developments in the fuel industry, considering the permanent increasing requirements for fuel quality and environmental safety. The work aims to study various technological modes at the rectification unit to produce fuel bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. The main goals are to solve applied scientific problems of rational designing and technological optimization to obtain boundaries of energy consumption to ensure the quality of bioethanol sufficient for a consumer. Recent approaches for numerical simulation of chemical technological processes were applied to study the operating processes and optimize technological parameters. The plant model was designed from various modules that allow us to simulate technological processes efficiently and accurately for all the primary units of the rectification equipment. The methodology based on the activity coefficient UNIFAC model of phase equilibrium was applied. As a result, a mixture with 74% of bioethanol 9% of impurities was obtained in the brew column. In the epuration column, a mixture of 46% bioethanol and 2.2% of impurities was obtained in bottoms. Finally, in the alcohol column, the mass fraction of distillate of 96.9% and impurities of 2.7% were reached. The numerical simulation results can be applied in recent fuel technologies and designing the corresponding biofuel plants.
