Model Order Reduction (MOR) in the simulation of incompressible flows



The numerical solution of a partial differential equation (PDE) corresponds to a dynamical system of high dimensions: MOR techniques tries to reduce the size of the problem, preserving the maximum information. In particular dynamical systems corresponding to computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) problems are generally both high dimensional and nonlinear: a strategy largely used in the CFD comunity is to use the Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), which is based on the singular value decomposition of a data matrix which represents the a priori information on the system.  It is interesting to apply this strategy to complex dynamics, e.g. Navier-Stokes equations.
