SUMMARY:Free Tax Services for Students
DESCRIPTION:WSU Tri-Cities\, in partnership with Chris Porter\, CPA\, MBA from PorterKinney\, PC\, offers free tax services for current students. You can schedule a 15-minute appointment.  \n   Bring any information with you that you would like him to review. Many students will either bring a previous year’s return to see if they are doing their taxes the best way possible\, or bring current documents to receive advice on the best way to file for that year.

SUMMARY:CE Seminar Series - Uncertainty quantification and reduction with conditional Gaussian process models in high dimensional stochastic systems
DESCRIPTION:Ramakrishna Tipireddy\, Ph.D.\nResearch Scientist in the Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate \nPacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) \n  \nAbstract\nThis talk will present a brief introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) quantification methods for\nhigh dimensional stochastic PDEs and introduce conditional Gaussian process (GP) models for uncertainty\nreduction. The PDE coefficient is represented as a log-normal random field\, with the corresponding\nGaussian part modeled as a zero-mean Gaussian process (GP) with appropriate covariance function. The\nreduction in uncertainty is achieved by conditioning the GP model on observations of the coefficient at a\nfew spatial locations. The resulting conditional GP model is then discretized using truncated Karhunen-\nLo`eve (KL) expansion and the stochastic solution of the PDE is computed using Monte Carlo and sparsegrid\ncollocation methods. Finally\, uncertainty in the system is further reduced by adaptively selecting\nadditional observation locations using two active learning criteria. The first criteria minimizes the\nvariance of the PDE coefficient\, while the second criteria employs approximately minimizes the variance\nof the solution of the PDE.\nBio\nThis talk will present a brief introduction to uncertainty quantification (UQ) quantification methods for\nhigh dimensional stochastic PDEs and introduce conditional Gaussian process (GP) models for uncertainty\nreduction.

SUMMARY:MME Seminar Series - Vortex-Breakdown and Wall-Separation States in Swirling Flows in Finite-Length Pipes
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nThe dynamics of inviscid-limit\, incompressible and axisymmetric swirling flows in finite-length\, long circular pipes\nwith varying geometries is studied through global analysis techniques and numerical simulations. The inlet flow is\ndescribed by fixed-in-time profiles of the circumferential and axial velocity together with a fixed azimuthal vorticity\,\nwhile the outlet flow is characterized by a state with zero radial velocity. A numerical algorithm based on the upwind\nfinite-difference method for the evolution of the circulation and azimuthal vorticity together with a Poisson solver for\nthe solution of the stream function in terms of the azimuthal vorticity is developed. The convergence of computed\nresults with mesh refinement is demonstrated. Moreover\, a mathematical analysis that is based on the Squire-Long\nequation (SLE) is formulated to identify steady-state solutions of the problem with special conditions to describe\nstates with separation zones. These solutions include the base columnar flow state\, a decelerated flow along the\ncenterline\, an accelerated flow along the centerline\, a vortex-breakdown state and a wall-separation state. The\nproblem is then reduced to the columnar (axially independent) SLE\, with centerline and wall conditions for the\nsolution of the outlet flow stream function. The numerical simulations realize the various flow states and show\ncorrelation between time-asymptotic states and steady states predicted according to the SLE and the columnar\nSLE problems. The simulations also shed light on the stability of the various steady states. Results show that pipe\ndivergence promotes the appearance of breakdown states at lower inlet swirl levels while pipe contraction delays\nthe appearance of vortex breakdown to higher swirl levels and promotes formation of wall-separation states. The\ninfluence of various inlet swirling flow profiles on the manifold of steady states in a straight\, finite-length pipe and\non flow dynamics is also investigated. Depending on the inlet profiles\, flows may first exhibit vortex breakdown while\nothers wall-separation states. \nMME Seminar_Flyer_Zhang_02.22.2019

SUMMARY:CEREO Debate Series Spring 2019 - Tapping the tensions between the science and politics of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Tapping the tensions between the science and politics of climate change\n  \nClimate change poses significant risks to our environmental\, societal\, and economic well-being. As society attempts to address the complex and interconnected problems of climate change\, we face a core problem: scientists have the knowledge\, but politicians and social institutions hold the power to exact meaningful solutions. Do climate scientists need to better understand the politics? Or should science stay true to itself and the process of climate change investigations?\nCome participate in a discussion with Drs Berger and Stephan on the roles\,\nresponsibilities\, and differences between policy and science in driving public\nperceptions about climate change.\nDr. Michael Berger is a Clinical Assistant Professor at WSU Vancouver who studies the impact of location and other environmental stressors on marine invertebrates.\nDr. Mark Stephan is an Associate Professor at WSU Vancouver whose research focuses on environmental governance around issues related to climate change policies at the sub-national level.
