Abstract:
The mankind, having improved in various fields of science and technology and
having liberalized, using environment resources and more deeply interfering in
the outer world, destroys the existing balance of the earth ecosystem. Research
of the ways of its prevention and rehabilitation is one of the most important
tasks of contemporary world. Via computer simulation mathematical modelling and
application of numerical analysis make possible to forecast these or those
parameters of water quality, to control and manage pollution processes. That
kind of observation and prediction are cost-effective and preserve expenses that
would be needed for arrangement and conduction of experiments; sometimes such
approach appears to be the only way of studying relevant phenomena. Thus,
mathematical modelling of diffusion processes in the environment and
investigation of pollution problems is one of the most actual and interesting
challenge of applied and computational mathematics. Therefore, mathematical
modelling and models themselves are being constantly improved, refined and in
some cases even simplified. Actually, a big variety of non-linear mathematical
models describing pollution processes exist, but in the current work we only
focus on linear mathematical models describing pollution transfer and diffusion
in water bodies. The literature concerning the research of problems and
mathematical modelling issues on the basis of classical equations of
mathematical physics with classical initial-boundary conditions is quite rich.
In some works concerning mathematical modelling of admixture diffusion processes
in various environments, the authors have encountered with the specific type of
equations that until recently were not used to describe the above mentioned
processes. Such equations are known under the name of “pluri-parabolic”
equations. Theoretical issues and algorithms of numerical solution of these
types of equations with classical initial-boundary conditions are poorly
studied, though investigation of the mentioned problems has substantial
theoretical and practical value. Here should be emphasized that in some cases
during the process of mathematical modelling of pollution problems we deal with
initial-boundary value problems with non-classical boundary conditions as well.
Quite often the questions of investigation of mathematical problems describing
pollution dissemination processes get down to classical equations of
mathematical physics with non-classical (e.g. non-local) initial-boundary
conditions. Finally, we would like to present mathematical models with
non-classical equations and non-classical boundary conditions (conditions of
Cannon, Bitsadze-Samarskii, their generalization and others). In the present
work some mathematical models of the mentioned type are considered, problems of
their numerical analysis and respective difference methods are developed and
studied.
