According to the theory of the continuity of liquid and gaseous states, as expressed for instance in van der Waals' equation, pronounced density differences may exist in a short column of fluid maintained, throughout its length, at the critical temperature. The point in the tube at which the density of the contents has decreased a given percentage from the critical value is the higher the larger the ratio of the critical temperature to molecular weight. For substances like neon the variations are so large that a measurable separation of isotopes may be expected at or near the critical point; for other substances the computed results are at least of the magnitude found by experiment. Also, according to the theory, in order to obtain, at or near the critical point, a column of gas of uniform density a temperature gradient must be allowed to exist along the column.

The paper presents a modification of the digital method by S. K. Godunov for calculating real gas flows under conditions close to a critical state. The method is generalized to the case of the Van der Waals equation of state using the local approximation algorithm. Test calculations of flows in a shock tube have shown the validity of this approach for the mathematical description of gas-dynamic processes in real gases with shock waves and contact discontinuity both in areas with classical and nonclassical behavior patterns. The modified digital scheme by Godunov with local approximation of the Van der Waals equation by a two-term equation of state was used for simulating a spatial flow of real gas based on Navier – Stokes equations in the area of a complex shape, which is characteristic of the internal space of a safety valve. We have demonstrated that, under near-critical conditions, areas of nonclassical gas behavior may appear, which affects the nature of flows. We have studied nonlinear processes in a safety valve arising from the movement of the shut-off element, which are also determined by the device design features and the gas flow conditions.
