Discontinuous Galerkin Methods for Convection Diffusion Equations with Random Coefficients

2019-09-11
Partial differential equations (PDEs) with random input data is one of the most powerful tools to model oil and gas production as well as groundwater pollution control. However, the information available on the input data is very limited, which causes high level of uncertainty in approximating the solution to these problems. To identify the random coefficients, the well–known technique Karhunen Loéve (K–L) expansion has some limitations. K–L expansion approach leads to extremely high dimensional systems with Kronecker product structure and only preserves two–point statistics, i.e., mean and variance. To address the limitations of the standard K–L expansion, we propose principal component analysis (PCA), i.e., linear and kernel PCA. This talk concerns a numerical investigation of convection diffusion equation with random input data by using stochastic Galerkin method. Since the local mass conservation plays a crucial role in reservoir simulations, we use discontinuous Galerkin method for the spatial discretization. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, we provide some numerical experiments with Gaussian and uniform distributed coefficients.

Local improvements to reduced-order approximations of PDE-constrained optimization problems
Akman, Tuğba; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Scientific Computing (2015)
Optimal control problems (OCPs) governed partial differential equations (PDEs) arise in environmental control problems, optimal control of fluid flow, petroleum reservoir simulation, laser surface hardening of steel, parameter estimation and in many other applications. Although the OCPs governed by elliptic and parabolic problems are investigated theoretically and numerically in several papers, the studies concerning the optimal control of evolutionary diffusion-convection-reaction (DCR) equation and Burger...
Singularly perturbed diffusion-advection-reaction processes on extremely large three-dimensional curvilinear networks with a periodic microstructure -- efficient solution strategies based on homogenization theory
Kropat, Erik; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2016-8)
Boundary value problems on large periodic networks arise in many applications such as soil mechanics in geophysics or the analysis of photonic crystals in nanotechnology. As a model example, singularly perturbed elliptic differential equations of second order are addressed. Typically, the length of periodicity is very small compared to the size of the covered region. The overall complexity of the networks raises serious problems on the computational side. The high density of the graph, the huge number of ed...
Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods with shock-capturing for nonlinear convection dominated models
Yücel, Hamdullah; BENNER, Peter (2013-11-11)
In this paper, convection-diffusion-reaction models with nonlinear reaction mechanisms, which are typical problems of chemical systems, are studied by using the upwind symmetric interior penalty Galerkin (SIPG) method. The local spurious oscillations are minimized by adding an artificial viscosity diffusion term to the original equations. A discontinuity sensor is used to detect the layers where unphysical oscillations occur. Finally, the proposed method is tested on various single- and multi-component prob...
Pseudo-steady state inflow performance relationship of reservoirs undergoing multiphase flow and different wellbore conditions
Al-Rbeawi, Salam (Elsevier BV, 2019-08-01)
This paper introduces an integrated approach for the inflow performance relationship of reservoirs that undergo multiphase flow conditions and drained by vertical wells with different wellbore conditions. The main objective is eliminating uncertainties that govern predicting reservoir performance by assuming single phase flow in the porous media. The proposed approach includes developing several models for multiphase flow conditions using PVT data and relative permeability curves. These models are assembled...
