Abstract. Stochastic Quantization (SQ) is a method for the approximation of a continuous probability distribution with a discrete one. The proposal made in this paper is to apply this technique to reduce the number of numerical simulations for systems with uncertain inputs, when estimates of the output distribution are needed. This question is relevant in volcanology, where realistic simulations are very expensive and uncertainty is always present. We show the results of a benchmark test based on a one-dimensional steady model of magma flow in a volcanic conduit.

Представлен алгоритм для численного моделирования задач одномерной детонации с использованием одностадийной необратимой модели химической кинетики. Дискретизация уравнений движения произведена согласно балансно-характеристической методике ``кабаре''. Аппроксимация источниковых членов выполнена без расщепления по физическим процессам с использованием неявного подхода с регулируемым порядком аппроксимации. Показано точное согласование параметров моделируемой детонации Чепмена--Жуге с аналитическим решением. Для неустойчивой детонации продемонстрирована зависимость результатов расчета от порядка аппроксимации правых частей. An algorithm for numerical simulation of one-dimensional detonation using a one-stage irreversible model of chemical kinetics is proposed. The discretization of the convective parts of governing equations is made in accordance with the balance-characteristic CABARET (Compact Accurately Boundary Adjusting-REsolution Technique) approach. The approximation of source terms is performed implicitly without splitting into physical processes with a regulated order of approximation. It is shown that the numerically obtained Chapman-Jouget detonation parameters are in exact agreement with the analytical solution. It is also shown that, in the case of unstable detonation, the numerical results are dependent on the order of approximation chosen for the right-hand sides of the governing equations.

Foam flooding is an effective method for enhancing oil recovery in high water-cut reservoirs and unconventional reservoirs. It is a dynamic process that includes foam generation and coalescence when foam flows through porous media. In this study, a foam flooding simulation model was established based on the population balance model. The stabilizing effect of the polymer and the coalescence characteristics when foam encounters oil were considered. The numerical simulation model was fitted and verified through a one-dimensional displacement experiment. The pressure difference across the sand pack in single foam flooding and polymer-enhanced foam flooding both agree well with the simulation results. Based on the numerical simulation, the foam distribution characteristics in different cases were studied. The results show that there are three zones during foam flooding: the foam growth zone, stable zone, and decay zone. These characteristics are mainly influenced by the adsorption of surfactant, the gas–liquid ratio, the injection rate, and the injection scheme. The oil recovery of polymer-enhanced foam flooding is estimated to be 5.85% more than that of single foam flooding. Moreover, the growth zone and decay zone in three dimensions are considerably wider than in the one-dimensional model. In addition, the slug volume influences the oil recovery the most in the foam enhanced foam flooding, followed by the oil viscosity and gas-liquid ratio. The established model can describe the dynamic change process of foam, and can thus track the foam distribution underground and aid in optimization of the injection strategies during foam flooding.

Abstract. The Nice Côte d'Azur international airport is subject to horizontal low-level wind shears. Detecting and predicting these hazards is a major concern for aircraft security. A measurement campaign took place over the Nice airport in 2009 including 4 anemometers, 1 wind lidar and 1 wind profiler. Two wind shear events were observed during this measurement campaign. Numerical simulations were carried out with Meso-NH in a configuration compatible with near-real time applications to determine the ability of the numerical model to predict these events and to study the meteorological situations generating an horizontal wind shear. A comparison between numerical simulation and the observation dataset is conducted in this paper.
