Galerkin methods for stochastic hyperbolic problems using bi-orthogonal polynomials (Q2276409)

This paper applies a Galerkin method in conjunction with bi-orthogonal polynomials for solving scalar transport equations whose transport velocity is a random field. This approach decouples the problem into a series of uncoupled problems. Further efficiencies can be obtained by reducing the total degrees of freedom based on a sensitivity analysis under the assumption that the random wave field can be represented by a truncated Karhunen-Loève expansion.
