Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Uncertainty quantification of practical engineering applications using the intrusive spectral stochastic finite element methods (SSFEM) may involve solving a system of linear equations in the order of billions of unknowns. Therefore, in this thesis the intrusive polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) based two-level domain decomposition (DD) algorithms for stochastic partial differential equations (PDEs) are extended to handle high resolution numerical models using an in-house scalable parallel solvers toolkit. First, attention is given to facilitate the numerical simulation of the elliptic stochastic PDEs with a large number of random variables to address the so-called curse of dimensionality issue. Second, for three-dimensional coupled stochastic PDE systems such as equations of linear elasticity, the extended wirebasket-based coarse grid is developed to improve the performance and overcome the scalability issues of the DD based iterative solvers with a vertex-based coarse grid. Third, the developed DD solvers for the SSFEM are coupled with FEniCS deterministic finite element assembly routines in order to reduce the coding required for the implementation and generalize the application of these solvers to a variety of PDEs using FEniCS. Fourth, the intrusive SSFEM with scalable DD solver is shown to outperform the non-intrusive SSFEM with the sparse grid quadrature for a stochastic PDE with the non-Gaussian random variables. This highlights the advantages of the intrusive approach and demonstrates the necessity of scalable parallel solvers for uncertainty quantification. This thesis also elaborates on the HPC implementational aspects of the DD solvers for SSFEM. Three-level nested sparse iterative solvers, which employ an efficient DD based preconditioners are used to simulate two and three-dimensional scalar and vector-valued stochastic PDEs. The random system parameters and the solution process are modeled as a non-Gaussian II

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
