Resumo:
Vector field plays an essential role in a large range of scientific applications. They are commonly generated through computer simulations. Such simulations may be a costly process because they usually require high computational time. When researchers want to quantify the uncertainty in such kind of applications, usually an ensemble of vector fields realizations are generated, making the process much more expensive. The Helmholtz-Hodge Decomposition is a very useful instrument for vector field interpretation because it traditionally distinguishes conservative (rotational-free) components from mass-preserving (divergence-free) components. In this work, we are going to explore the applicability of such technique on the uncertainty analysis of 2-dimensional vector fields. First, we will present an approach of the use of the Helmholtz-Hodge Decomposition as a basic tool for the analysis of a vector field ensemble. Given a vector field ensemble epsilon, we firstly obtain the corresponding rotational-free, divergence-free and harmonic component ensembles by applying the Natural Helmholtz-Hodge Decomposition to each1 vector field in epsilon. With these ensembles in hand, our proposal not only quantifies, via a statistical analysis, how much each component ensemble is point-wisely correlated to the original vector field ensemble, but it also allows to investigate the uncertainty of rotational-free, divergence-free and harmonic components separately. Then, we propose two techniques that jointly with the Helmholtz-Hodge Decomposition stochastically generate vector fields from a single realization. Finally, we propose a method to synthesize vector fields from an ensemble, using both the Dimension Reduction and Inverse Projection techniques. We test the proposed methods with synthetic vector fields as well as with simulated vector fields.
