DYNAMICS OF THE INTERSTELLAR GAS IN THE VICINITY OF A BAR

A numerical simulation of the disk dynamics of a flat stellar-gaseous galaxy is presented. This simulation is based on N-body modelling for a stellar disk, together with integration of the two-dimensional hydrodynamic equations for a gaseous disk. The existence of a quasi-periodic regime of disk evolution found earlier in a purely hydrodynamic simulation is confirmed. Intense gas flows in the central area of the disk due to the saddle point of the bar potential can support the active galactic nuclei in Seyfert galaxies and form double nuclei.
