Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0755.00007.] The work refers to various adaptations of the SPRINT computer package used for the dynamical simulation of response and control of hydraulic systems in chemical engineering. 1. Instead of the commonly used backward differentiation formula, a DASSL variant is proposed in the integrator for index 2 differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) in the modified SPRINT. 2. Handling of discontinuities in index 2 DAEs is achieved by interpolation in the explicit case and by the use of a variant of the bisection method in the implicit case. 3. In the SPRINT modular package parallelism is introduced in the computationally intensive linear algebra modules (Jacobian formulation and decomposition) by using a variant of nested dissections technique. Experiments conducted in a Meiko Computing Surface environment (CS-TOOLS operating system) demonstrate the accomplished improvements.
