Adjoint-accelerated Inference and Optimization Methods
The proposed research will demonstrate, with industrial examples, how scientists and engineers can efficiently combine data with prior physical knowledge. It will leverage Bayesian inference for rigour, adjoint methods for speed, and fluid dynamics for impact. Bayesian inference has been applied to fluid dynamics before but rarely using adjoint-accelerated inference and optimization methods (AXIOMs). These methods are crucial for practical applications because they dramatically accelerate data assimilation, especially when models contain thousands of parameters. This produces quantitatively-accurate physically-interpretable models that extrapolate successfully in directions in which the…
