Preprint Version: [pdf]
In this work, we investigate a surrogate for modeling the response of a simulated nuclear engineering system for use in uncertainty propagation. Building on our recent work using a gradient-enhanced regression approach, we examine the ability of a universal gradient-enhanced Kriging model to provide a means for inexpensive uncertainty quantification.
