Sequential Data Assimilation methods for the analysis of unsteady / turbulent flows
Abstract: The constant increase in computer power and new emerging computational architectures are providing unprecedented opportunities for the numerical analysis of complex flow configurations. Within this framework, the representation of turbulent flows and their sensitivity to realistic epistemic uncertainties affecting their evolution is one of the most difficult open challenges. Recently, the scientific community has integrated data driven techniques to improve the prediction of such flow configurations. Will these tools be able to provide a breakthrough in the way we analyse turbulent flows? In the present talk, an overview of recent works developed by the research team on the field of Data Assimilation (DA) is proposed. DA is a science usually associated with Bayesian estimation which is devoted to optimal flow reconstruction, in a probabilistic sense, starting from different sources of information which are characterized by a level of confidence. The presentation of the results obtained by the team will be enriched by discussion about the achievements obtained with these tools in the state of the art as well as indicating future perspectives of application for the analysis of complex configurations
