In order to achieve a more virtual design and certification process of jet engines in aviation industry, the uncertainty bounds for computational fluid dynamics have to be known. This work shows the application of a machine learning methodology to quantify the epistemic uncertainties of turbulence models. The underlying method in order to estimate the uncertainty bounds is based on an eigenspace perturbation of the Reynolds stress tensor in combination with random forests.
