Stochastic collocation and mixed finite elements for flow in porous media
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to quantify uncertainty of flow in porous media through stochastic modeling and computation of statistical moments. The governing equations are based on Darcy’s law with stochastic permeability. Starting from a specified covariance relationship, the log permeability is decomposed using a truncated Karhunen-Loève expansion. Mixed finite element approximations are used in the spatial domain and collocation at the zeros of tensor product Hermite polynomials is used in the stochastic dimensions. Error analysis is performed and experimentally verified with numerical simulations. Computational results include incompressible and slightly compressible single and two-phase flow.

A Stochastic Mortar Mixed Finite Element Method for Flow in Porous Media with Multiple Rock Types
This paper presents an efficient multiscale stochastic framework for uncertainty quantification in modeling of flow through porous media with multiple rock types. The governing equations are based on Darcy’s law with nonstationary stochastic permeability represented as a sum of local Karhunen-Loève expansions. The approximation uses stochastic collocation on either a tensor product or a sparse ...
متن کاملA stochastic mixed finite element heterogeneous multiscale method for flow in porous media
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. Thi...
متن کاملA stochastic multiscale framework for modeling flow through random heterogeneous porous media
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 charac...
متن کاملA stochastic heterogeneous multiscale method for porous media flow
A new multiscale algorithm is introduced based on the framework of the heterogeneous multiscale method. The mixed finite element method used ensures continuity of the flux within the entire domain. This method is shown to be free of “resonance error” and uses less memory than the mixed multiscale finite element method. To account for the highstochastic dimensionality of the permeability field, ...
متن کاملStochastic Collocation for Elliptic PDEs with random data - the lognormal case
We investigate the stochastic collocation method for parametric, elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with lognormally distributed random parameters in mixed formulation. Such problems arise, e.g., in uncertainty quantification studies for flow in porous media with random conductivity. We show the analytic dependence of the solution of the PDE w.r.t. the parameters and use this to sho...
