Description Paper from the AFRC 2018 conference titled Predictivity: Definition and Application to a Tangentially FIred Combustion System
Abstract Quantification of uncertainty and prediction under uncertainty are playing a bigger; role in simulation science nowadays than it was 10 years ago. Since the seminal work of; Kennedy-O'hagan1 it is understood that point-value estimates from model predictions,; lack real engineering value if not provided with valid intervals in which the model is; capable of forecasting. In this work, we used tools commonly used in artificial intelligence; and machine learning in order to define predictivity and determine the predictive; distribution function for the input parameters that control a tangentially-fired coal; combustion boiler quantities of interest (QoI's): heat flux to the wall, gas temperature; and oxygen concentration. The predictive posterior distribution informs the modelers; and the experimentalist the allowed ranges of simulation input parameters in which the; model produces useful predictions.
