Stochastic Modeling of Flow-Structure Interactions using Generalized Polynomial Chaos

چکیده
We present a generalized polynomial chaos algorithm to model the input uncertainty and its propagation in flow-structure interactions. The stochastic input is represented spectrally by employing orthogonal polynomial functionals from the Askey scheme as the trial basis in the random space. A standard Galerkin projection is applied in the random dimension to obtain the equations in the weak form. The resulting system of deterministic equations is then solved with standard methods to obtain the solution for each random mode. This approach is a generalization of the original polynomial chaos expansion, which was first introduced by N. Wiener (1938) and employs the Hermite polynomials (a subset of the Askey scheme) as the basis in random space. The algorithm is first applied to second-order oscillators to demonstrate convergence, and subsequently is coupled to incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Error bars are obtained, similar to laboratory experiments, for the pressure distribution on the surface of a cylinder subject to vortex-induced vibrations. ∗Corresponding author, [email protected]

Modeling and Performance Evaluation of Energy Consumption in S-MAC Protocol Using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets
One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...
متن کاملLong-term behavior of polynomial chaos in stochastic flow simulations
In this paper we focus on the long-term behavior of generalized polynomial chaos (gPC) and multi-element generalized polynomial chaos (ME-gPC) for partial differential equations with stochastic coefficients. First, we consider the one-dimensional advection equation with a uniform random transport velocity and derive error estimates for gPC and ME-gPC discretizations. Subsequently, we extend the...

An extension of the deterministic variational multiscale (VMS) approach with algebraic subgrid scale (SGS) modeling is considered for developing stabilized finite element formulations for the stochastic advection and the incompressible stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. The stabilized formulations are numerically implemented using the spectral stochastic formulation of the finite element metho...
