Talk Title: Solving Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow Problems with Reduced Order Models and Neural Networks
Speaker: Dr. Zilong Song Department of Math & Stat, USU
Abstract: The friction stir welding process can be modelled using a system of heat transfer and Navier-Stokes equations with a shear dependent viscosity. Finding numerical solutions of this system of nonlinear partial differential equations over a set of parameter space, however, is extremely time-consuming. Therefore, it is desirable to find a computationally efficient method that can be used to obtain an approximation of the solution with acceptable accuracy. In this talk, we present a reduced basis method for solving the parametrized coupled system of heat and Navier-Stokes equations using a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). In addition, we apply a machine learning algorithm based on an artificial neural network (ANN) to learn (approximately) the relationship between relevant parameters and the POD coefficients. Our computational experiments demonstrate that substantial speed-up can be achieved while maintaining reasonable accuracy.

Title: Sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification using novel physics-constrained machine learning
Speaker: Dr. Hamidreza Karbasian, Fields Institute, University of Toronto
Abstract:
A new physics-constrained data-driven approach is proposed for sensitivity analysis and uncertainty quantification of large-scale chaotic dynamical systems. Unlike conventional sensitivity analysis, this approach can solve the unsteady sensitivity function for PDE-constrained optimizations. In this new approach, high-dimensional governing equations, such as Navier-Stokes equations, from physical space are transformed into an unphysical space to develop a closure model in the form of a Reduced-Order Model (ROM). Subsequently, a new data sampling approach is proposed to build a data-driven approach for this framework. It is shown that the proposed approach can capture sensitivities for large-scale chaotic dynamical systems, where Finite Difference (FD) approximations fail ...

College of Science 2021 Virtual Fall Convocation - Invitation Only
Reception/Reunion
2021 Virtual Fall Convocation
Dates: September 30, 2021 - 5:30pm - 6:30pm
Location: This invitation only event will be held virtually on Zoom with login information sent via email
Attendees: Students and Donors by invitation only
Our college’s alumni often cite the faculty, staff, fellow students and family, who encouraged them in their academic journey, along with donors, who provided financial support that made their education at Utah State possible. Many of these alumni seek opportunities to give back and offer a hand up to new Aggies following in their footsteps.
Fall Convocation celebrates this enduring legacy by recognizing outstanding student recipients of our graduate and undergraduate College of Science scholarships and awards, as well as the generous scholarship donors supporting these scholars in their endeavors. The annual gathering provides an opportunity for Aggies, from generation to generation, to share their stories, their challenges and their wisdom in warm fellowship.
