MOTIVATION: ROLE OF MODELING AND SIMULATION Science-based modeling and simulation is
poised to have great impact on decision making process for the upkeep of existing systems, and optimizing design of future systems
Two main challenges persist: Why should decision makers believe M&S
results? How to be computationally efficient?
![Page 3: Hany S. Abdel-Khalik, Assistant Professor PI, CASL VUQ Focus Area North Carolina State University](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a2550346895dda8b5f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
OBJECTIVE: UNCERTAINTY MANAGEMENT Employ UQ to estimate all possible outcomes and
their probabilities
Identify key sources of uncertainty and their contribution to total uncertainty Must be able to calculate the change in response due to
change in sources of uncertainty (sensitivity analysis SA)
Employ measurements to reduce epistemic uncertainties Must be able to correct for epistemic sources of
uncertainties to minimize differences between measurements and predictions (inverse problem, aka data assimilation DA)
![Page 4: Hany S. Abdel-Khalik, Assistant Professor PI, CASL VUQ Focus Area North Carolina State University](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a2550346895dda8b5f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY Input parameters
Parameters input to models are often measured or evaluated by pre-processor models
Measurements and/or pre-process introduce uncertainties Parameters uncertainties are the easiest to propagate
Numerical Discretization Real complex models have no closed form solutions Digitized forms of the continuous equations must be prepared Numerical schemes vary in their stability and convergence properties For well-behaved numerical schemes, numerical errors
can be estimated Model form
Models are approximation to reality The quality of approximation reflects level of insight into physical
phenomena. With more measurements, physicists are often able to
formulate better models Most difficult to evaluate especially with limited measurements

Nuclear Reactions Interaction of single nuclear particles
cannot be predicted analytically. However only ensemble average of
interactions of many particles can be statistically estimated.
The constant (cross-section) characterizes probability of interaction between many particles of type A and many particles with type B; and are experimentally evaluated.

Sampling approach Sample x and determine and R Perform statistical analysis on R Employ (x, R) samples to estimate sensitivities of R wrt x
Surrogate (ROM) approach Response Surface Methods (RSM)
Use limited samples to find a ROM relating R and x Sample the ROM many more times to get UQ results
Variational Methods Bypass the evaluation of , and directly find a ROM relating
R’s first order variations wrt x. Use deterministic formula to get UQ; no further samples required
Hybrid Subspace Methods Employ variational methods to find first-order ROM Sample ROM to find reduced set of input parameters xr
Use RSM to relate R and xr and get UQ results

VARIATIONAL APPROACH Can be used to estimate first order variations
of a given response with respect to all input parameters using a single adjoint evaluation
For models with m responses, m executions of the adjoint model are required
For linear models (or quasi-linear models), it is the most efficient approach to build the surrogate
For higher order variational estimates (applied to nonlinear models), the number of adjoint evaluations becomes dependent on n. Ex. for quadratic models, n adjoints are needed.
![Page 24: Hany S. Abdel-Khalik, Assistant Professor PI, CASL VUQ Focus Area North Carolina State University](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a2550346895dda8b5f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
CHALLENGES OF RSM APPROACH Hard to determine quality of predictions at any
points not used to generate the surrogate? Solution: Leave-some-out Approach
Generate the surrogate with a reduced number of points
Use the surrogate to predict the left-out points Determine the surrogate’s functional form
(surface)? How to select the points used to train the
surrogate? Number of points grow exponentially with number of
input parameters Great deal of research goes into reducing number of
training points

Challenges of UQ in Nuclear EngTypical reactor models require long
execution times rendering their repeated execution computationally impractical:◦ Contain millions of inputs and outputs◦ Require repeated forward and/or adjoint
model executions◦ Strongly nonlinear◦ Coupled in sequential and/or circular
manners◦ Based on tightly and/or loosely coupled
physics◦ Employ multi-scale modeling phenomena
Responses’ PDFs deviate from Gaussian shapes, and must be accurately determined for safety analysis
![Page 26: Hany S. Abdel-Khalik, Assistant Professor PI, CASL VUQ Focus Area North Carolina State University](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568166a2550346895dda8b5f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Efficient Subspace Methods - PhilosophyGiven the complexity of physics model, multi-
scale strategies are employed to render practical execution times
Multi-scale strategies are motivated by engineering intuition; designers often interested in capturing macroscopic behavior
Multi-scale strategies involve repeated homogenization/averaging of fine-scale information to generate coarser information
Averaging = Integration = Lost degrees of Freedom
Why not design our solution algorithms to take advantage of lost degrees of freedom?
If codes are already written, why not reduce them first before tightly/loosely coupling them, and to perform UQ/SA/DA

Linear models coupled sequentially: Possible to reduce dimensionality of data
streams at each code-to-code interface: hbrd-var-sub
Nonlinear models coupled sequentially: Possible: perform reduction at each code-to-code
interface using a hbrd var-smpl-sub

UQ CHALLENGES: CURRENTLY NOT ADDRESSED Nonlinear non-smooth models
(e.g. bifurcated models and discrete type events) Nonlinear models coupled with feedback How to estimate uncertainties for low-probability
events, e.g. tails of probability distributions? How to evaluate uncertainties on a routine basis for
multi-physics multi-scale models? How to efficiently aggregate all sources of
uncertainties, including parameters, numerical, and model form errors?
How to identify validation domain beyond the available experimental data?
How to design experiments that are most sensitive to key sources of uncertainties?

CONCLUDING REMARKS Most complex models can be ROM’ed. This is
not coincidental due to the multi-scale strategy often employed.
Recent research in engineering and applied mathematics communities has shown that: It is possible to find ROM efficiently One can preserve accuracy of original complex
model
Hybrid algorithms appear to have the highest potential of leveraging the benefits of various ROM techniques

UQ EDUCATION Very little focus is given to UQ in
undergraduate and graduate education Future workforce, expected to rely more on
modeling and simulation, should be conversant in UQ methods
Ongoing educational efforts: Validation of Computer Models, Francois Hemez, LANL SA and UQ Methods, Michael Eldred, Sandia V&V & UQ, Ralph Smith, NCSU V&V&UQ in Nuclear Eng, Hany Abdel-Khalik, NCSU
