Abstract: The advances and current problems in the numerical simulations of chemical processes in the interstellar and intergalactic medium are described. The special attention is paid to coupled simulation of non-equilibrium chemical kinetics and gas dynamics. The code for self-consistent simulation of dynamical and chemical processes in the interstellar medium is presented.

Keywords: interstellar medium, intergalactic medium, chemical kinetics, gas dynamics, numerical methods, molecules, ions.
