Abstract

The reliable and effective assimilation of measurements and numerical simulations inengineering applications involving computational fluid dynamics is an emerging problem assoon as new devices provide more data. In this paper we are mainly driven by hemodynamicsapplications, a field where the progressive increment of measures and numerical toolsmakes this problem particularly up-to-date. We adopt a Bayesian approach to the inclusionof noisy data in the incompressible steady Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). The purpose isthe quantification of uncertainty affecting velocity and flow related variables ofinterest, all treated as random variables. The method consists in the solution of anoptimization problem where the misfit between data and velocity - in a convenient norm -is minimized under the constraint of the NSE. We derive classical point estimators, namelythe maximum a posteriori – MAP – and the maximum likelihood – ML – ones.In addition, we obtain confidence regions for velocity and wall shear stress, a flowrelated variable of medical relevance. Numerical simulations in 2-dimensional andaxisymmetric 3-dimensional domains show the gain yielded by the introduction of a completestatistical knowledge in the assimilation process.
