Zusammenfassung:	A new model of the general circulation of the atmosphere of Titan is discussed. This model is based on numerical grid integration of the complete equations of gas dynamics with a fine spatial resolution. The relaxation approximation is used to calculate the power of radiation heating and cooling the atmospheric gas. The results of simulation of the general atmospheric circulation of Titan at equinox with this model are presented and analyzed.
