Uncertainty quantification in ion–solid interaction simulations

Uncertainty Quantification in Irreversible Electroporation Simulations

One recent area of cancer research is irreversible electroporation (IRE). Irreversible electroporation is a minimally invasive procedure where needle electrodes are inserted into the body to ablate tumor cells with electricity. The aim of this paper is to investigate how uncertainty in tissue and tumor conductivity propagate into final ablation predictions used for treatment planning. Two dimen...

Multi-fidelity numerical simulations of shock/turbulent-boundary-layer interaction in a duct with uncertainty quantification

The interaction between shock waves and turbulent boundary layers (STBLI) plays a fundamental role in the operation of (sc)ramjet engines utilized in supersonic/hypersonic flight vehicles. In particular, the isolator part of such engines is often designed to contain a series of shock waves (shock-train) that sets the flow of incoming, atmospheric air in the optimal conditions for its subsequent...

Forward and Backward Uncertainty Quantification in Optimization

This contribution gathers some of the ingredients presented during the Iranian Operational Research community gathering in Babolsar in 2019.It is a collection of several previous publications on how to set up an uncertainty quantification (UQ) cascade with ingredients of growing computational complexity for both forward and reverse uncertainty propagation.

Uncertainty Quantification in Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Forward and Inverse Problem

Francesco Rizzi Sandia National Laboratory, Alburquerque, NM, USA Abstract Molecular dynamics (MD) is widely employed in both industrial and academic environments, playing a key role in the study of a variety of systems, ranging from liquids to solids, as well as biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA). MD simulations provide a suitable and convenient method to explore the d...
