A fexible non-intrusive approach to parametric uncertainty quantifcation problems is developed, aimed at problems with many uncertain parameters, and for applications with a high cost of functional evaluations. It employs a Kriging response surface in the parameter space, augmented with gradients obtained from the adjoint of the deterministic equations. The Kriging correlation parameter optimization problem is solved using the Subplex algorithm, which is robust for noisy functionals, and whose effort typically increases only linearly with problem dimension. Integration over the resulting response surface to obtain statistical moments is performed using sparse grid techniques, which are designed to scale well with dimensionality. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method is compared with probabilistic collocation, direct application of sparse grid methods, and Monte-Carlo initially for model problems, and finally for a 2d compressible Navier-Stokes problem with a random geometry parameterized by 4 variables.
