Compressible fluid motion with uncertain data

Abstract

We propose a suitable analytical framework to perform numerical analysis of problems arising in compressible fluid models with uncertain data. We discuss both weak and strong stochastic approach, where the former is based on the knowledge of the mere distribution (law) of the random data typical for the Monte-Carlo and related methods, while the latter assumes the data to be known as a random variabble on a given probability space aiming at obtaining the associated solution in the same form. As an example of the strong approach, we discuss the stochastic collocation method based on a piecewise constant approximation of the random data.
