Shannon Entropy Computations in Navier–Stokes Flow Problems Using the Stochastic Finite Volume Method by Marcin Kamiński, Rafał Leszek Ossowski

“…Such an implementation of the SFVM is applied to model the 2D lid-driven cavity flow problem for statistically homogeneous fluid with limited uncertainty in its viscosity and heat conductivity. Further numerical extension of this technique is seen in an application of the artificial neural networks, where polynomial approximation may be replaced automatically by some optimal, and not necessarily polynomial, bases.…”
