Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a variational framework derived from data assimilation principles in order to realize a temporal Bayesian smoothing of fluid flow velocity fields. The velocity measurements are supplied by an optical flow estimator. These noisy measurement are smoothed according to the vorticity-velocity formulation of Navier-Stokes equation. Following optimal control recipes, the associated minimization is conducted through an iterative process involving a forward integration of our dynamical model followed by a backward integration of an adjoint evolution law. Both evolution laws are implemented with second order non-oscillatory scheme. The approach is here validated on a synthetic sequence of turbulent 2D flow provided by Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) and on a real world meteorological satellite image sequence depicting the evolution of a cyclone.
