Recent experiments have shown that the presence of a vertical buoyancy-driven flow adjacent to an initially cylindrical crystal-melt interface may produce a time-dependent helical deformation of the interface, with a rotation period ranging from several minutes to many hours, depending upon the width of the melt. The temperature distribution is such that the interface is expected to be morphologically stable in the absence of fluid flow. A linear stability analysis reveals that the instability is due to a coupling between a basic hydrodynamic instability in the buoyant flow and the deformable boundary separating the two phases. The crystal-melt interface lowers the critical Grashof number of an analogous rigid-walled system by an order of magnitude for succinonitrile with a Prandtl number P = 22.8; furthermore, the hydrodynamic mode that is actually destabilized by the interface is not the least stable mode in the rigid-walled system for P = 22.8. The results show that the instability may be regarded either as a rather large alteration of a basic hydrodynamic instability by the crystal-melt interface, or as a significant modification of the morphological stability of the interface by the presence of the buoyant flow.

The present book develops the mathematical and numerical analysis of linear, elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with coefficients whose logarithms are modelled as Gaussian random fields (GRFs), in polygonal and polyhedral physical domains. Both, forward and Bayesian inverse PDE problems subject to GRF priors are considered.;Adopting a pathwise, affine-parametric representation of the GRFs, turns the random PDEs into equivalent, countably-parametric, deterministic PDEs, with nonuniform ellipticity constants. A detailed sparsity analysis of Wiener-Hermite polynomial chaos expansions of the corresponding parametric PDE solution families by analytic continuation into the complex domain is developed, in corner- and edge-weighted function spaces on the physical domain.;The presented Algorithms and results are relevant for the mathematical analysis of many approximation methods for PDEs with GRF inputs, such as model order reduction, neural network and tensor-formatted surrogates of parametric solution families. They are expected to impact computational uncertainty quantification subject to GRF models of uncertainty in PDEs, and are of interest for researchers and graduate students in both, applied and computational mathematics, as well as in computational science and engineering.
