1This directory contains files for the prototype study for stochasticity conducted by Suresh Kumar of ACFR and Ole Nielsen of GA.

5Project outline:
6
7The case study is based on a validation conducted against a wavetank experiment emulating the 1993 Okushiri Island tsunami.
8
9
101)Investigate independent, identically distributed errors in bathymetry. Decide a standard deviation of the bathymetry errors.
11
12
13The important files are:
14  project.py: Controls number of samples etc
15  create_realisatons.py: Makes a set of perturbed bathymetries
16  run_model.py: Run the simulation for each realisation and output three timeseries for each
17               
18
19
20 
21(2)Establish that the Monte-Carlo estimates have converged
22
23    Brute force validation where we run say 1000 simulations and then
24    2000, and evaluate whether the mean solution at the 3 monitoring
25    stations has significantly changed.
26
27 
28
29(3)Measures of performance at the three channels where measurements
30are available
31
32    (a) 1 standard deviation from the mean (time averaged)
33
34    (b) Windowed RMS error measure
35
36    (c) Raw RMS error
37
38    (d)Visual inspection
39

41Milestone: Evaluate the effects of the stochasticity of bathymetry on
42           the computed solution using the measures of performance
43           listed here to decide on continuance of this line of work.

47Second mini-project (Pending success of earlier project):
48
49Introduce spatially correlated errors in bathymetry and perform
50Monte-Carlo simulations with sparse, locally correlated deviates.
51
52
53Research Questions:
54 
55* Which resolution is necessary?
56* What is the effect of noise in the friction terms?
57* Effect of Boundary conditions, source terms and initial condition.
58* Can the whole process be done stochastically -
59      perhaps a hybrid where CFD kick starts a stochastic
60      predictive process (like ITO)
