Random Field Simulation and Applications

  • Conference paper
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods 2006

Summary

In this paper I present some new approaches to the random field simulation, and show in four different examples how this simulation technique works. The first example deals with a transport in turbulent flows, where the Lagrangian trajectories are described by a stochastic differential equation whose drift term involves the Eulerian velocity as a random field with a given spectral tensor. Studies of the second example concern with the flows in porous medium governed by the Darcy equation with random hydraulic conductivity. Elasticity system of elliptic Lamé equations with random loads is considered in the third example. Finally, in the fourth example we solve a nonlinear Smoluchowski equation which is used to model the process of crystal growth.
