A Second-Order Time-Stepping Scheme for Simulating Ensembles of Parameterized Flow Problems

Abstract

We consider settings for which one needs to perform multiple flow simulations based on the Navier-Stokes equations, each having different initial condition data, boundary condition data, forcing functions, and/or coefficients such as the viscosity. For such settings, we propose a second-order time accurate ensemble-based method that to simulate the whole set of solutions, requires, at each time step, the solution of only a single linear system with multiple right-hand-side vectors. Rigorous analyses are given proving the conditional stability and establishing error estimates for the proposed algorithm. Numerical experiments are provided that illustrate the analyses.
