Gorenje and detonation are waves in reacting systems that exhibit complex nonlinear dynamics. Such waves are described by equations of continuum mechanics together with equations of kinetics of chemical reactions. For a long time, it was believed that due to the complexity of the process, it was impossible to build simplified models of wave dynamics. In the lecture, you will learn how the entire dynamics of detonation can be described by a single scalar partial differential equation of the first order.

And why is modeling so in demand in the largest industrial companies? In-depth knowledge of the mechanics of multiphase media, numerical methods and programming skills, together with a broad outlook in technological processes, allow us to develop new technologies in energy transfer and oilfield services. Modeling makes it possible to simplify and reduce the cost of extracting valuable resources, reducing the risk of errors.

At the Skoltech lecture, scientists will tell how modeling copes with tasks that previously seemed unsolvable and what contribution it makes to preventing global warming. And you will also learn about Skoltech's master's and postgraduate programs — admission, selection, study and prospects for young professionals.

At the lecture you will learn:

— How to describe the wave chaos

— What tasks in the field of responsive systems have yet to be solved

— What are multiphase flows and why are they needed in oil production

— Why geological storage of carbon dioxide prevents global warming

— Where to figure it all out: what programs does Skoltech have and how to enroll there for free training
