A Stochastic Collocation Method based on Sparse Grids for a Stochastic Stokes-Darcy Model

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a sparse grid stochastic collocation method to improve the computational efficiency in handling the steady Stokes-Darcy model with random hydraulic conductivity. To represent the random hydraulic conductivity, the truncated Karhunen-Loève expansion is used. For the discrete form in probability space, we adopt the stochastic collocation method and then use the Smolyak sparse grid method to improve the efficiency. For the uncoupled deterministic subproblems at collocation nodes, we apply the general coupled finite element method. Numerical experiment results are presented to illustrate the features of this method, such as the sample size, convergence, and randomness transmission through the interface.
