Numerical analysis of the stability of nonequilibrium 3D evolutionary transfer processes in the network

Abstract

Analytical methods for solving various problems of an applied nature (for example, non-stationary transfer problems over network hydro, gas and heat carriers), whose mathematical models use the formalisms of evolutionary differential systems, are possible with rare exceptions. That is why the construction of numerical and simulation models for the use of quantitative analysis methods becomes a universal research tool, if at the same time the implementation of these models on a computer is carried out – in other words, a complex of software engineering of the process under study is formed. The study uses the method of semidiscretization by a time variable of the mathematical model of the evolutionary non-equilibrium process of continuous medium transfer, which remains one of the most effective methods for analyzing applied problems. In this case, the elliptic operator of the mathematical model has a special basis (a system of eigenfunctions), which is why the analysis is reduced to the study of a boundary value problem for elliptic-type equations with a spatial variable changing on a network-like domain. The paper presents the conditions for unambiguous weak solvability of a differential-difference system, which is a difference analogue in the time variable of the original system, and the way of constructing an algorithm for finding an approximate solution is indicated. The study contains an analysis of the stability and convergence of difference schemes of evolutionary network-like nonequilibrium processes of continuous media transfer over network carriers and includes an analysis of the correctness of the mathematical model of this process. The results of the work are applicable in the framework of oil and gas engineering to the study of issues of stabilization and parametric optimization of the processes of transportation of liquid media through spatial networks.
