A framework is presented for obtaining variance-based sensitivity in multiphase flow systems via a multi-fidelity Monte Carlo approach that optimally manages model evaluations for a given computational budget. The approach combines a high-fidelity model based on direct numerical simulation and a lower-order model based on a one-dimensional Eulerian description of the two-phase flow. Significant speedup is obtained compared to classical Monte Carlo estimation. Deposition is found to be most sensitive to electrostatic interactions and exhibits largest uncertainty for mid-sized (i.e., moderate Stokes number) particles.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-05-10T15:36:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "turbulent pipe flow", "multi-fidelity uncertainty quantification", "particle deposition", "van der waals strength", "multi-fidelity monte carlo approach" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
