We consider a stochastic analysis of the non-linear viscous Burgers’ equation and focus on the comparison between intrusive and non-intrusive uncertainty quantification methods. The intrusive approach uses a combination of polynomial chaos and stochastic Galerkin projection. The non-intrusive method uses numerical integration by combining quadrature rules and the probability density functions of the prescribed uncertainties. The two methods are applied to a provably stable formulation of the viscous Burgers’ equation, and compared. As measures of comparison: variance size, computational efficiency and accuracy are used.
