Main achievements

  • The effect of suppressiоn of breakup process and regularization of a standing gravitational wave using a layer of floating particles has been established (Kalinichenko V.A., 2019).
  • Pulse radial outflow of fluid from the gap between two rapidly approaching discs is used as a method for rheological testing of elastic fluids in the regime of extreme deformations (high strain rates and tensile degrees). A theoretical description of the radial outflow of an elastic fluid is constructed within the framework of the Oldroyd-B rheological model. Test experiments on the throwing of aqueous solutions of high molecular weight polyethylene oxide (PEO) with concentrations 1, 2, 4%. By comparing theoretical predictions with experimental data, the rheological characteristics of the tested PEO solutions were determined under extreme deformation conditions. There is a significant increase in the modulus of elasticity and a decrease in the relaxation time at high strain rates. The method is applicable for rheological testing of polymer and biological fluids in medicine, biology, and in a number of chemical technologies (Bazilevsky A.V., Rozhkov A.N., 2018).

    • The liquid is radially ejected at a speed of ~1-10 m/s from the annular gap between two approaching disks; the initial thickness of the gap is ~2 mm, the outflow time is ~1 ms: (a-e) – water, glycerin, polyethylene oxide solutions of concentrations of 0.1, 1, 2 and 4%. The position of the gap is indicated by an arrow.
  • A numerical simulation of the gravitational concentration convection of water with a dissolved impurity in a rectangular geothermal reservoir, at the upper boundary of which a constant impurity concentration is maintained, has been performed. It was found that small-scale salt "fingers" appear chaotically near the upper boundary, which merge and enlarge when descending; over time, the emerging small-scale "fingers" are combined into groups. The influence of porosity on the time of convection development and characteristics of mass transfer in a homogeneous geothermal system is investigated (Soboleva E.B. and Tsypkin G.G., 2016).
  • The deformation of the water-saturated area during filtration in a porous medium with varying capillary pressure was investigated. It is shown that in the case of flow instability, the capillary pressure gradient directed along the interface between the liquid and gas leads to deformation of the region, which eventually divides into two unconnected regions. It is assumed that the process under consideration describes one of the possible mechanisms of fragmentation of filtration currents, which can lead to the formation of residual oil during the operation of oil fields and salinization of soils during the evaporation of groundwater containing a dissolved impurity (Tsypkin G.G. and Shargatov V.A., 2018).
  • A numerical simulation of the temperature growth of the supercritical fluid due to the piston effect (heating during adiabatic compression, which occurs due to the high compressibility of the medium) has been performed. It was found that near the critical point at the characteristic time of the piston effect it ceases to decrease and tends to a constant value, deviating from the theoretically predicted dependence, which indicates the nonlinear nature of the phenomenon. At sufficiently large temperatures, the heating goes into thermal conductivity mode. Here ε=(T–Tc)/Tc is the temperature "distance" to the critical point; T, Tc are current and critical temperature values (Gorbunov A. and Soboleva E., 2020).

    • The time of the piston effect τ with a temperature jump Θ=0.1 (1), 1 (2), 10 mK (3) in a region 1 cm wide, as function of ε. The media is described by the cubic van der Waals equation (a) or the fifth degree equation of state (b). Theoretical curve of the piston effect τpe(ε) (4), thermal conductivity curve τd(ε) (5).
  • The results of mathematical modeling of unsteady modes of generation of internal and surface gravitational ones show that wave fields from unsteady sources of disturbances under certain modes of generation are a hybrid system of waves of two types: annular (transverse) and wedge-shaped (longitudinal). The nonstationarity of the source of disturbances leads to the appearance not only of ring waves diverging directly from the source, but also to the generation of hybrid wave disturbances propagating from the source upstream. The qualitative picture of wave fields from a non-stationary source is significantly complicated in comparison with the case of wave generation by a moving stationary source, when wave fronts of separate wedge-shaped (longitudinal) modes successively arrive at a fixed observation point. With certain generation parameters, circular (transverse) waves can initially arrive at a fixed observation point. The wave modes that first reach a fixed observation point are determined by the generation parameters and stratification of the medium. For large mode numbers, the half-angle of the Kelvin wave wedge decreases with the mode number in the same way as for the cases of stationary lasing regimes. The obtained results of mathematical modeling of the fields of internal and surface gravitational waves make it possible to effectively analyze the main amplitude-phase characteristics of the excited wave fields, and, in addition, qualitatively investigate the solutions obtained, which is important for the correct formulation of more complex mathematical models of wave dynamics of real stratified media. Such wave patterns can be observed during remote sensing, observation and measurements of internal and surface gravitational waves excited by various sources of disturbances in natural (ocean, Earth's atmosphere) and artificial stratified media (Bulatov V.V. and Vladimirov Y.V., 2018).
