Brief Description of Main Research:

My research concerns: special finite difference approximations and numerical solutions of the system of differential equations of mathematical physics and fluid mechanics with large parameters at first order derivatives or small parameters at second order derivatives. The so called uniform numerical (special) methods of E.Doolan, J.Miller, W.H.Schilder, D.Allen, R.Southwell and A.Il`yn are being developed for application to non-linear problems of mathematical physics and MHD for viscous incompressible fluid, which cannot be solved by classical methods. This provides the basis for the development of special monotonous vector difference schemes with a perturbation coefficient of the function matrix.

Since 1964 I have published a monograph on the numerical methods of solution of differential equations (1986, 416 pp.); 136 original scientific papers , proceedings and abstracts on the numerical simulation of MHD flow for viscous incompressible fluid in the electromagnetic field, about the mathematical modelling in aluminium reduction cell, on the numerical solution of the heat transfer equations in multi-layer medium, the special finite-difference approximations of the equations of mathematical physics; 22 textbooks or booklets for students about numerical methods of differential equations in mathematical physics.
