Creating a domestic platform for mathematical modelling and engineering analysis tools to solve practical problems related to the development and optimization of rocket and space technologies

The purpose of the work is to create a domestic software platform for solving mathematical modeling problems in the industry. It is known that the most important task of reducing costs and meeting deadlines when creating new products is the development of advanced mathematical models which are quick-response enough and adequately approximate real processes. To solve this problem, the Keldysh Research Center has been implementing a number of projects aimed at the development of the domestic platform for the mathematical modeling and engineering analysis tools to provide practical issues for the development and optimization of parameters primarily for rocket engines and space power systems. A set of fundamental principles taken into account while developing the platform is formulated in the work. Firstly, this is the development and application of the only domestic software tools and complex solutions based on specialized software of Keldysh Research Center, as well as commercial domestic software products. Secondly, the integration of components into a single complex of mathematical models and software with automated calculations. Besides that, the validation of mathematical models and software created for modes and conditions of practical tasks to ensure a given accuracy. The authors provide examples of successful application of the developed platform in relation to the problems of development and optimization of spacecraft. At the moment, along with solving applied problems, the modeling results have already made it possible to formulate a number of practical recommendations, as well as to identify a number of new effects and physical patterns inherent in the complex technical devices considered.
