V/UQ of Generation 1 Simulator with AMSO Experimental Data

As part of the capstone project, we have been working to create a high performance computing (HPC) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tool that would allow us to simulate in-situ thermal heating of oil shale. Using our HPC CFD tool, in the first phase of the project we have performed validation and uncertainty quantification (V/UQ) study of the heater test conducted by American Shale Oil (AMSO) company at their pilot test facility located in Rifle, CO.
