Abstract

A new computational method is proposed for efficient uncertainty quantification of multiphase flow in porous media with stochastic permeability. For pressure estimation, it combines the dimension-adaptive stochastic collocation method on Smolyak sparse grids and the Kronrod–Patterson–Hermite nested quadrature formulas. For saturation estimation, an additional stage is developed, in which the pressure and velocity samples are first generated by the sparse grid interpolation and then substituted into the transport equation to solve for the saturation samples, to address the low regularity problem of the saturation. Numerical examples are presented for multiphase flow with stochastic permeability fields to demonstrate accuracy and efficiency of the proposed two-stage adaptive stochastic collocation method on nested sparse grids.

An efficient, high-order probabilistic collocation method on sparse grids for three-dimensional flow and solute transport in randomly heterogeneous porous media

Journal Article Lin, Guang ; Tartakovsky, Alexandre M. - Advances in Water Resources, 32(5 SP ISS):712-722

In this study, a probabilistic collocation method (PCM) on sparse grids was used to solve stochastic equations describing flow and transport in three-dimensional in saturated, randomly heterogeneous porous media. Karhunen-Lo\`{e}ve (KL) decomposition was used to represent the three-dimensional log hydraulic conductivitymore »« less

A stochastic mixed finite element heterogeneous multiscale method for flow in porous media

Journal Article Ma Xiang ; Zabaras, Nicholas, E-mail: zabaras@cornell.ed - Journal of Computational Physics

A computational methodology is developed to efficiently perform uncertainty quantification for fluid transport in porous media in the presence of both stochastic permeability and multiple scales. In order to capture the small scale heterogeneity, a new mixed multiscale finite element method is developed within the framework of the heterogeneous multiscale method (HMM) in the spatial domain. This new method ensures both local and global mass conservation. Starting from a specified covariance function, the stochastic log-permeability is discretized in the stochastic space using a truncated Karhunen-Loeve expansion with several random variables. Due to the small correlation length of the covariance function,more »« less
Modeling diffusion in random heterogeneous media: Data-driven models, stochastic collocation and the variational multiscale method

Journal Article Ganapathysubramanian, Baskar ; Zabaras, Nicholas - Journal of Computational Physics

In recent years, there has been intense interest in understanding various physical phenomena in random heterogeneous media. Any accurate description/simulation of a process in such media has to satisfactorily account for the twin issues of randomness as well as the multilength scale variations in the material properties. An accurate model of the material property variation in the system is an important prerequisite towards complete characterization of the system response. We propose a general methodology to construct a data-driven, reduced-order model to describe property variations in realistic heterogeneous media. This reduced-order model then serves as the input to the stochastic partialmore »« less

An adaptive hierarchical sparse grid collocation algorithm for the solution of stochastic differential equations

Journal Article Ma Xiang ; Zabaras, Nicholas - Journal of Computational Physics

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in analyzing and quantifying the effects of random inputs in the solution of ordinary/partial differential equations. To this end, the spectral stochastic finite element method (SSFEM) is the most popular method due to its fast convergence rate. Recently, the stochastic sparse grid collocation method has emerged as an attractive alternative to SSFEM. It approximates the solution in the stochastic space using Lagrange polynomial interpolation. The collocation method requires only repetitive calls to an existing deterministic solver, similar to the Monte Carlo method. However, both the SSFEM and current sparse grid collocationmore »« less
A stochastic multiscale framework for modeling flow through random heterogeneous porous media

Journal Article Ganapathysubramanian, B. ; Zabaras, N. - Journal of Computational Physics

Flow through porous media is ubiquitous, occurring from large geological scales down to the microscopic scales. Several critical engineering phenomena like contaminant spread, nuclear waste disposal and oil recovery rely on accurate analysis and prediction of these multiscale phenomena. Such analysis is complicated by inherent uncertainties as well as the limited information available to characterize the system. Any realistic modeling of these transport phenomena has to resolve two key issues: (i) the multi-length scale variations in permeability that these systems exhibit, and (ii) the inherently limited information available to quantify these property variations that necessitates posing these phenomena as stochasticmore »« less
