Special discrete and asymptotic approximations are proposed for the boundary value problem describing a stationary radiative–conductive heat transfer in a system of absolutely black heat-conducting rods of circular cross-section. Results of numerical experiments are presented to confirm the efficiency of proposed approximations.

In this paper we consider a Boltzmann type equation arising in the kinetic vehicle traffic flow model with an acceleration variable. The latter model is improved within the framework of the previously developed approach by introducing a set of random parameters. This enables us to take into account different types of interacting vehicles, as well as various parameters describing skills and behavior of particular drivers. We develop new Monte Carlo algorithms to evaluate probabilistic moments of linear functionals of the solution to the considered equation.

The paper presents a new algorithm of exponential transformation and its randomized modification with branching of a Markov chain trajectory for solving the problem of gamma-ray transport. Based on the example of radiation transfer in water, numerical study of presented algorithms is performed in comparison with standard simulation algorithms. The study of the influence of medium stochasticity on the probability of gamma-quanta passing through a thick layer of the substance is also carried out.

We present data-driven modelling of membrane deformation by a hyperelastic nodal force method. We assume that constitutive relations are characterized by tabulated experimental data instead of the conventional phenomenological approach. As experimental data we use synthetic data from the bulge test simulation for neo-Hookean and Gent materials. The numerical study of descriptive and predictive capabilities of our approach demonstrates very good results of the data-driven modelling provided that the input tabulated data are expanded to a wider region of strain characteristics. Two methods for such expansion are suggested and numerically studied. Different loadings of hyperelastic membranes are successfully recovered by our approach.

This paper is a continuation of [38]. The analysis of the modified partial differential equation (MDE) of the constant-wind-speed linear advection equation explicit difference scheme up to the eighth-order derivatives is presented. In this paper the authors focus on the dissipative features of the Beam–Warming scheme. The modified partial differential equation is presented in the so-called Π -form of the first differential approximation. The most important part of this form includes the coefficients μ ( p ) at the space derivatives. Analysis of these coefficients provides indications of the nature of the dissipative errors. A fragment of the stencil for determining the modified differential equation for the Beam–Warming scheme is included. The derived and presented coefficients μ ( p ) as well as the analysis of the dissipative features of this scheme on the basis of these coefficients have not been published so far.
