Experience

Electrophysical devices, nuclear reactors, X-ray lasers: creation of mathematical models for ionizing radiation (neutrons, gamma and X-rays) transport in devices and media, simulation of photon transport through large optical depths, analysis of neutron spectrum of nuclear impulse reactors, elaboration of the analytical technique and mathematical models of radiation formation in single-pass laser based on the integral form of the radiation transport equation.

Microwave generators, accelerators and electromagnetic wave propagation: formation of mathematical models for plasma dynamics, electromagnetic wave generation and propagation in microwave devices and electrodynamic systems, elaboration of a new approach for generation of high power microwaves, a new scheme of high-gradient accelerator and a new model and method of electromagnetic wave interaction with corrugated waveguide, development of a scheme of electron beam recuperator, researches in multi-channel planar FEM mm-generator operation, electromagnetic waves propagation in the atmosphere and concrete, development of models and methods for the system-generated electromagnetic pulse (SGEMP) and the internal electromagnetic pulse (IEMP) in complex 3D–objects, models for propagation of electromagnetic waves in the complex non-uniform and anisotropic media. In the frame of these works analytical technique based on integral equation methods, numerical technique based on integral equation and time-domain methods for solution of Maxwell’s and Vlasov equations were widely used. The last was solved by particle-in-cell method and finite difference methods.

Numerical analysis: development of computer models to simulate plasma processes, electromagnetic wave propagation and electric signals in cable lines on the basis of finite-difference approach, formulation of discretization and effective numerical methods and algorithms for physical process simulation and device modeling (particle-in-cell method, finite difference scheme for Maxwell’s equations, wave and transport equations).

Software development: As a team leader, developed the system of 3D modeling of SGEMP and IEMP phenomena, codes and the library for simulation of direct and inverse electromagnetic problems for induction logging, the code to simulate free surface moving in stochastic media, the code to simulate electromagnetic waves interaction with Bregg reflectors in planar waveguides, the code to simulate free electron laser operation.
