Since
May 1986 IMMSP (as the Special
Bureau of Mathematical Machines and Systems of the Institute of Cybernetics)
has been responsible for the development and improvement of the National
Decision Support and Predicting System on Radioactive Contamination of
Surface Water in Ukraine after the Chernobyl Accident. The results of
the mathematical modelling were used for the decision making to decrease
the radionuclide release from the water bodies in the Chernobyl zone and
from the Kiev Reservoir as also for the prediction of radionuclide concentrations
in Dnieper river, crossed whole Ukrainian territory, These results were
practically used by the Ministry on Chernobyl Problems, Ministry of Water
Management, Ministry of Environmental Protection and Ministry of Public
Health. The Working Group has been organized by the Academy of Sciences
from the specialists in computational hydraulics, computational fluid
mechanics, hydrology, environmental radioactivity from the different Kiev's
institution to work out with the IMMSP staff in this field. On the base
of this Working Group the Department of Mathematical Modelling of Water
Systems was established in the IMMSP at April 1987, headed by Dr. Mark
Zheleznyak.
Since January 1996 the work is continued in the Branch on Environmental
System Analyses (BESA) which includes two departments
Department of Environmental Modelling, headed by Dr. Zheleznyak
, and
Department of Marine&River Systems Modelling, headed by Dr.
Vladimir Maderich.
The BESA staff includes 26 researchers, engineers and programmers
Main Areas of the R&D Activities
- Development of the software systems for the decision support on
off-site nuclear emergency management, water management and water
protection.
- Modelling of radionuclides and chemical pollutants (oil, heavy metals,
etc) transport in the rivers, reservoirs and coastal areas (box model,
1-D, 2-D, 3-D models) and on the watersheds.
- Modelling of radionuclides and chemical pollutants transport in
groundwater.
- Modelling of dispersion of the toxic heavy gases in the atmosphere.
Computational methods of water management
- Modelling of waves, currents and suspended sediment transport in
reservoirs and coastal areas of the seas
- Modelling of unsteady water dynamics and sediment transport in the
network of river channels.
- Development of the software systems which include computational
modules, graphical user interfaces, GIS, Data Base Systems ( including
real-time systems), Internet interfaces.
- Long term case study: modelling assessment of radionuclide migration
in surface water and groundwater of the Chernobyl zone, analyses of
the efficiency of countermeasures to prevent radionuclide transport
from the Shelter and surrounding territories More about projects
The Ph D students are preparing their Ph D (Candidate of Sciences) dissertations in BESA
