Convergence of Galerkin solutions using Karhunen-Lo&e expansions of inhomogeneous 1-D turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rate of convergence of the Karhunen-Loeve expansion of an inhomogeneous, instantaneous random field is compared with that of Fourier expansion in relation to the Reynolds number. The model turbulence is generated by solving the Burgers’ equation with random forcing. The coefficients of the Fourier expansion are determined by a Galerkin solution scheme. The results show obvious superiority of the Karhunen-Loeve expansion, especially for high Reynolds number flows.

Karhunen-Lobe expansion of the derivative of an inhomogeneous process
The properties of the Karhunen-Lo&e (KL) expansion of the derivative u,(x) of an inhomogeneous random process possessing viscous boundary-layer behavior are studied in relation to questions of efficient representation for numerical Galerkan schemes for computational simulation of turbulence. Eigenfunctions and eigenvalue spectra are calculated for the randomly forced one-dimensional Burgers’ mo...

The series representation consisting of eigenfunctions as the orthogonal basis is called the Karhunen–Loeve expansion. This paper demonstrates that the determination of eigensolutions using a wavelet-Galerkin scheme for Karhunen–Loeve expansion is computationally equivalent to using wavelet directly for stochastic expansion and simulating the correlated random coefficients using eigen decomposi...

In dynamic data driven applications modeling accurately the uncertainty of various inputs is a key step of the process. In this paper, we first review the basics of the Karhunen-Loève decomposition as a means for representing stochastic inputs. Then, we derive explicit expressions of one-dimensional covariance kernels associated with periodic spatial second-order autoregressive processes. We al...
متن کاملA Karhunen-Loeve Galerkin Technique with Shock Fitting for Optimization of a Blunt Body Geometry
A novel Karhunen-Loève (KL) Galerkin model for the supersonic, inviscid flow of a calorically perfect ideal gas about an axisymmetric, blunt body employing shock fitting is developed. The motivation for developing the KL Galerkin model is the need for an accurate and computationally efficient model for use in the optimal design of hypersonic vehicles. In constructing a KL Galerkin model, a set ...
