By tapping into the power of extreme value theory, an international team of researchers including Raphaël Huser from the University's Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Science and Engineering Division has developed a statistical model that overcomes the shortcomings of previous schemes to provide a reliable basis for climate research and the prediction of

An accurate mathematical model is proposed to describe an emerging desalination technology called direct contact membrane distillation system. The mathematical model is important for designing efficient control and monitoring strategies, a crucial step to facilitate the commercialization of this technology.
A new algorithm is proposed to estimate the average velocity, dispersion coefficient, and differentiation order of a space-fractional advection-dispersion equation used for modeling contaminant transport in porous media. This allows for the characterization of the medium and the determination of the contaminant source. The algorithm is efficient, robust and fast.
The 4th consecutive year that KAUST is holding the UQAW annual event dedicated to reporting on the state-of-the-art and latest advances in the methods used to quantify the calculation uncertainties. The aim of the discussion forum in exchanging information on innovative algorithm design as well as their practical applications and performances in experimental settings.
