The first step is to transform the given SPDE into an equivalent SPDE driven by a correlated random process, specifically, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. This allows for the use of truncated Karhunen-Loeve expansions and sparse-grid methods for the efficient and accurate approximation of the input stochastic process in terms of few random variables. Details of the procedure are given and its efficacy is demonstrated through computational experiments involving the stochastic heat equation and the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations.
