Quantum wave dynamics in systems with potential wells, bathers and outer impenetrable walls has been studied using solutions of time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Numerical integration of Schrodinger equation, calculation of dynamical variables and its average values, Fourier-spectra were carried out for different initial conditions and different relations between wave packet energy and bather height. In non-symmetric wells the oscillations of wave packets are accompanied by multistep discrete tunneling of probability fluid from well through barrier. In double well potential (symmetric wells) the temporal scales of oscillations and tunneling were investigated in details. Influence of additional time-dependent potential on quantum wave packet dynamics in above listed systems is also discussed.
