Abstract:
In this thesis we consider two great challenges in computer simulations of partial differential equations: multiscale data, varying over multiple scales in space and time, and data uncertainty, due to lack of or inexact measurements. We develop a multiscale method based on a coarse scale correction, using localized fine scale computations. We prove that the error in the solution produced by the multiscale method decays independently of the fine scale variation in the data or the computational domain. We consider the following aspects of multiscale methods: continuous and discontinuous underlyi

Abstract:
We study how uncertainty in the input data of the Radiative Transport equation (RTE), affects the distribution of (functionals of) its solution (the output data). The RTE is an integro-differential equation, in up to seven independent variables, that models the behaviour of rarefied particles (such as photons and neutrons) in a domain. Its applications include nuclear reactor design, radiation shielding, medical imaging, optical tomography and astrophysics. We focus on the RTE in the context of nuclear reactor physics where, to design and maintain safe reactors, understanding the effects of un

Abstract:
Studying the dynamics of the palaeoclimate is a challenging problem. Part of the challenge lies in the fact that our understanding must be based on only a single realisation of the climate system. With only one climate history, it is essential that palaeoclimate data are used to their full extent, and that uncertainties arising from both data and modelling are well characterised. This is the motivation behind this thesis, which explores approaches for uncertainty quantification in problems related to palaeoclimate reconstruction.

Abstract:
The uncertainty of any measurement is the interval in which one believes the actual error lies. Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurement error depends on the PIV algorithm used, a wide range of user inputs, flow characteristics, and the experimental setup. Since these factors vary in time and space, they lead to nonuniform error throughout the flow field. As such, a universal PIV uncertainty estimate is not adequate and can be misleading. This is of particular interest when PIV data are used for comparison with computational or experimental data. A method to estimate the uncertainty d

Uncertainties in nuclear model responses must be quantified to define safety limits, minimize costs and define operational conditions in design. Response uncertainties can also be used to provide a feedback on the quality and reliability of parameter evaluations, such as nuclear data. The uncertainties of the predictive model responses sprout from several sources, e.g. nuclear data, model approximations, numerical solvers, influence of random variables. It was proved that the largest quantifiable sources of uncertainty in nuclear models, such as neutronics and burnup calculations, are the nucl

Modeling and simulations of large-scale systems are used extensively to not only better understand a natural phenomenon, but also to predict future events. Accurate model results are critical for design optimization and policy making. They can be used effectively to reduce the impact of a natural disaster or even prevent it from happening. In reality, model predictions are often affected by uncertainties in input data and model parameters, and by incomplete knowledge of the underlying physics.

We consider quantities that are uncertain because they depend on one or many uncertain parameters. If the uncertain parameters are stochastic the expected value of the quantity can be obtained by integrating the quantity over all the possible values these parameters can take and dividing the result by the volume of the parameter-space. Each additional uncertain parameter has to be integrated over; if the parameters are many, this give rise to high-dimensional integrals.

Cette thèse a pour sujet l'estimation d'opérateurs et l'établissement de bornes non-asymptotique sur leur précision. En première partie, nous traiterons de l'estimation de la covariance en présence de valeurs manquantes ou contaminées. Nous montrons qu'un simple débiaisage est minimax optimal et bat en pratique les procédures plus complexes de l'état de l'art.Dans une deuxième partie, nous étudierons un bandit linéaire multi-tâche, dont la matrice des coefficients de la régression peut se décomposer en le produit de matrices plus petites: la première est une matrice de représentation commune q

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses model form uncertainty quantification, non-deterministic simulations, and sensitivity analysis of the results of these simulations, with a focus on application to analysis of unmanned aircraft systems. The model form uncertainty quantification utilizes equation error to estimate the error between an identified model and flight test results. The errors are then related to aircraft states, and prediction intervals are calculated. This method for model form uncertainty quantification results in uncertainty bounds that vary with the aircraft state, narrower where consis

Abstract:
Nearly every decision must be made with a degree of uncertainty regarding the outcome. Decision making based on modeling and simulation predictions needs to incorporate and aggregate uncertain evidence. To validate multiscale simulation models, it may be necessary to consider evidence collected at a length scale that is different from the one at which a model predicts. In addition, traditional methods of uncertainty analysis do not distinguish between two types of uncertainty: uncertainty due to inherently random inputs, and uncertainty due to lack of information about the inputs.

Abstract:
Forestry in the UK is dominated by coniferous plantations. Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) are the most prevalent species and are mostly grown in single age mono-culture stands. Forest strategy for Scotland, England, and Wales all include efforts to achieve further afforestation. The aim of this afforestation is to provide a multi-functional forest with a broad range of benefits. Due to the time scale involved in forestry, accurate forecasts of stand productivity (along with clearly defined uncertainties) are essential to forest managers. These can be provided

Abstract:
<p> The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model describes the flow of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of magnetic fields. A principal application of MHD is the modeling of plasma physics, ranging from plasma confinement for thermonuclear fusion to astrophysical plasma dynamics. MHD is also used to model the flow of liquid metals, for instance in magnetic pumps, liquid metal blankets in fusion reactor concepts, and aluminum electrolysis. The model consists of a non-self-adjoint, nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDEs) that couple the Navier-Stokes equations for fluid f
