An Adaptive Parallel Integrator of Ordinary Differential Equations System for Space Experiment Simulation

Atanas Marinov Atanassov

Different possible sources are discussed for enhancement of the calculation time when solving ordinary differential equations systems to forecast space objects' motion. This paper presents an approach for building an integrator of ordinary differential equations systems for simultaneous solving of motion equations of multiple objects. A parallelization of calculation on the base of threads is offered. A method for synchronization is presented. The technological advance and the invasion of multi-core processors make actual the examined approach for developing an integrator of ordinary differential equations systems.

Integration of the Equation of the artificial Earth's Satellites Motion with Selection of Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg Schemes of Optimum Precision Order

Atanas Marinov Atanassov

An approach is treated for numerical integration of ordinary differential equations systems of the first order with choice of a computation scheme, ensuring the required local precision. The treatment is made on the basis of schemes of Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg type. Criteria are proposed as well as a method for the realization of the choice of an 'optimum' scheme. The effectiveness of the presented approach to problems in the field of satellite dynamics is illustrated by results from a numerical experiment. These results refer to a case when a satisfactory global stability of the solution for all treated cases is available. The effectiveness has been evaluated as good, especially when solving multi-variable problems in the sphere of simulation modelling.
