Challenges in Developing DDDAS Based Methodology for Volcanic Ash Hazard Analysis - Effect of Numerical Weather Prediction Variability and Parameter Estimation

چکیده
In this paper, we will present ongoing work on using a dynamic data driven application system (DDDAS) based approach to the forecast of volcanic ash transport and dispersal. Our primary modeling tool will be a new code puffin formed by the combination of a plume eruption model Bent and the ash transport model Puff. Data from satellite imagery, observation of vent parameters and windfields will drive our simulations. We will use ensemble based uncertainty quantification and parameter estimation methodology – polynomial chaos quadrature in combination with data integration to complete the DDDAS loop.

متن کاملCoupling Wind Dynamics into a DDDAS Forest Fire Propagation Prediction System
Natural hazards are significant problems that every year cause important loses around the world. A good prediction of the behavior of the hazards is a crucial issue to fight against them and to minimize the damages. The models that represent these phenomena need several input parameters and in many cases, such parameters are difficult to know or even to estimate in a real scenario. So, a method...
متن کاملPrediction Time Assessment in a DDDAS for Natural Hazard Management: Forest Fire Study Case
This work faces the problem of quality and prediction time assessment in a Dynamic Data Driven Application System (DDDAS) for predicting natural hazard evolution. In particular, we used forest fire spread prediction as a case study to show the applicability of the methodology. The improvement on the prediction quality when using a two-stage DDDAS prediction framework has been widely proved. The...
متن کاملVolcanic ash melting under conditions relevant to ash turbine interactions
The ingestion of volcanic ash by jet engines is widely recognized as a potentially fatal hazard for aircraft operation. The high temperatures (1,200-2,000 °C) typical of jet engines exacerbate the impact of ash by provoking its melting and sticking to turbine parts. Estimation of this potential hazard is complicated by the fact that chemical composition, which affects the temperature at which v...
متن کاملA comprehensive methodology for development, parameter estimation and uncertainty analysis of group contribution based property models – an application to heat of combustion
A rigorous methodology is developed that addresses numerical and statistical issues when developing group contribution (GC) based property models such as regression methods, optimization algorithms, performance statistics, outlier treatment, parameter identifiability and uncertainty of the prediction. The methodology is evaluated through development of a GC method for prediction of the heat of ...
