arXiv:2602.23461v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Data assimilation (DA) for compressible flows with shocks is challenging because many classical DA methods generate spurious oscillations and nonphysical features near uncertain shocks. We focus here on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). We show that the poor performance of the EnKF may be attributed to the bimodal forecast distribution that can arise in the vicinity of an uncertain shock location; this violates the assumptions underpinning the EnKF, which assume a forecast which is close to Gaussian. To address this issue we introduce
The continuous advancements in AI and high-performance computing enable increasingly complex simulations and data assimilation techniques, which are crucial for fields like fluid dynamics.
Improving data assimilation for complex systems like compressible flows with shocks is critical for more accurate climate modeling, aerospace design, and potentially, military applications.
The ability to accurately model and predict behavior in systems with uncertain shocks using neural networks addresses a long-standing challenge in computational fluid dynamics and data assimilation.
