Rapid Assessment of the Acoustic Environment in the Changing Arctic

Abstract

Novel computational methods will be developed for two specific application fields: i) A reduced-order model for the uncertainty quantification of quantities-of-interest for a multi-physics problem involving a non-homogeneous turbulent flow with thermal interactions: a cool jet in a crossflow of a hot gas; and ii) The formulation of reduced-order models for nonlinear water waves that will allow for the statistical quantification and the prediction of extreme events. A successful implementation of the proposed order-reduction method will have significant practical impact on fields such as optimization, control, and filtering of fluid flows as well as on the development of practical prediction methods for twodimensional nonlinear wave fields in the ocean. In particular, this project consists of the following specific objectives:
