Fluid mechanics and its application for describing basic processes in nature, technology and society

The lecture provides some examples of successful application of fluid mechanics methods and approaches for predictive mathematical modeling of basic processes in nature, technology and social aspects, in particular:
1. Global processes in the Universe: formation of supernovae, interactions of molecular clouds;
2. Ecology of near-Earth space, ensuring flight safety;
3. Modeling of processes in power plants and engines of various types;
4. Modeling the effectiveness of fire and explosion safety measures;
5. Predictive modeling of traffic flows, evaluation of the effectiveness of various control strategies.
