Numerical models for variable-density flow and solute transport (VDFST) are widely used to simulate seawater intrusion and related problems. The mathematical model for VDFST is a coupled nonlinear dynamical system, so the numerical discretizations in time and space are usually required to be as fine as possible. As a result, fine-scale transient models require large computational time, which is a disadvantage for state estimation, forward prediction or model inversion. The purpose of this research is to develop mathematical and numerical methods to simulate VDFST via a model order reduction technique called Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) designed for nonlinear dynamical systems. POD was applied to extract leading model features (basis functions) through singular value decomposition (SVD) from observational data or simulations (snapshots) of high-dimensional systems. These basis functions were then used in the Galerkin projection procedure that yielded low-dimensional (reduced-order) models. The original full numerical models were also discretized by the Galerkin Finite-Element Method (GFEM). The implementation of the POD reduced-order method was straightforward when applied to the full order model to the complex model. The developed GFEM-POD model was applied to solve two classic VDFST cases, the Henry problem and the Elder problem, in order to investigate the accuracy and efficiency of the POD model reduction method. Once the snapshots from full model results are obtained, the reduced-order model can reproduce the full model results with acceptable accuracy but with less computational cost in comparison with the full model, which is useful for model calibration and data assimilation problems. We found that the accuracy and efficiency of the POD reduced-order model is mainly determined by the optimal selection of snapshots and POD bases. Validation and verification experiments confirmed our POD model reduction procedure. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

CAMERA: A method for cost-aware, adaptive, multifidelity, efficient reliability analysis

S. Ashwin Renganathan, Vishwas Rao, Ionel M. Navon

Summary: Estimating the probability of failure in aerospace systems is crucial for flight certification and qualification. This study proposes a method that uses models of multiple fidelities to efficiently estimate failure probability. The method combines multiple models using multifidelity Gaussian process models and utilizes a sequential acquisition function for experiment design. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach predicts failure boundary and probability more accurately with a fraction of the computational cost compared to using a single high-fidelity model. Moreover, the sequential approach guarantees convergence to the true failure boundary with high probability.

Xue Li, Yingyin Zhou, Jian Sha, Man Zhang, Zhong-Liang Wang

Summary: High-resolution climate data is crucial for predicting regional climate and water environment changes. In this study, a two-step downscaling method was developed to enhance the spatial resolution of GCM data and improve the accuracy for small basins. The method combined medium-resolution climate data with high-resolution topographic data to capture spatial and temporal details. The downscaled climate data were then used to simulate the impacts of climate change on hydrology and water quality in a small basin. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of the downscaling method for spatially differentiated simulations.

Chi Zhang, Xu Zhang, Qiuhong Tang, Deliang Chen, Jinchuan Huang, Shaohong Wu, Yubo Liu

Summary: Precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau is influenced by systems such as the Asian monsoons, the westerlies, and local circulations. The Indian monsoon, the westerlies, and local circulations are the main systems affecting precipitation over the entire Tibetan Plateau. The East Asian summer monsoon primarily affects the eastern Tibetan Plateau. The Indian monsoon has the greatest influence on precipitation in the southern and central grid cells, while the westerlies have the greatest influence on precipitation in the northern and western grid cells. Local circulations have the strongest influence on the central and eastern grid cells.
