The work is devoted to modeling the water cycle in the bio-regenerative life support system. The scheme of closed hydrological cycle, including human and plant links, modules of food preparation, waste treatment, water accumulation is considered. For each functional element, water exchange canals and corresponding equations of dynamics, water inflow and outflow are determined. In calculations according to the model the levels of relative humidity of air environment, periodicity of watering of plants, ingress from man of processed wastes, accumulation and redistribution of water condensed from atmosphere on links and modules of the system are taken into account. The results of calculations of the dynamics of water exchange for the normal mode of operation of the system and in case of air conditioner failure are presented in graphs. The developed computer model of the closed water cycle can be useful in the design of life support systems, adjustment and optimization of inter-link water exchange processes, creation of simulators for crew training.
