Two uncertainty quantification (UQ) techniques, latin-hypercube sampling (LHS) and polynomial chaos expansion (PCE), have been used in an initial UQ study to calculate the effect of boundary condition uncertainty on Large-eddy spray simulations. Liquid and vapor penetration as well as multidimensional liquid and vapor data were used as response variables. The Morris one-at-a-time (MOAT) screening method was used to identify the most important boundary conditions. The LHS and PCE methods both predict the same level of variability in the response variables, which was much larger than the corresponding experimental uncertainty. Nested grids were used in conjunction with the PCE method to examine the effects of subsets of boundary condition variables. Numerical modeling parameters had a much larger effect on the resulting spray predictions; the uncertainty in spray penetration or multidimensional spray contours from physically derived boundary conditions was close to the uncertainty of the measurements.

The Sturm-Liouville problem with various types of two-point boundary conditions is considered in this paper. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the Sturm-Liouville problem in three cases of nonlocal two-point boundary conditions. We prove general properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues. It is analyzed how the spectrum of these problems depends on the boundary condition parameters. Qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to the nonlocal boundary condition parameters is described.
