    This report has two main goals. First, it numerically investigates three velocity-pressure reduced order models (ROMs) for incompressible flows. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is used to generate the modes. One method computes the ROM pressure solely based on the velocity POD modes, whereas the other two ROMs use pressure modes as well. To the best of the authors knowledge, one of the latter methods is novel. The second goal is to numerically investigate the impact of the snapshot accuracy on the ROMs accuracy. Numerical studies are performed on a two-dimensional laminar flow past a circular obstacle. It turns out that, both in terms of accuracy and efficiency, the two ROMs that utilize pressure modes are clearly superior to the ROM that uses only velocity modes. The numerical results also show a strong correlation of the accuracy of the snap shots with the accuracy of the ROMs.

    SUPG reduced order models for convection-dominated convection-diffusion-reaction equations
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2014) Iliescu, Traian; John, Volker; Schyschlowa, Swetlana; Wells, David
    This paper presents a Streamline-Upwind Petrov--Galerkin (SUPG) reduced order model (ROM) based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD). This ROM is investigated theoretically and numerically for convection-dominated convection-diffusion-reaction equations. The SUPG finite element method was used on realistic meshes for computing the snapshots, leading to some noise in the POD data. Numerical analysis is used to propose the scaling of the stabilization parameter for the SUPG-ROM. Two approaches are used: One based on the underlying finite element discretization and the other one based on the POD truncation. The resulting SUPG-ROMs and the standard Galerkin ROM (G-ROM) are studied numerically. For many settings, the results obtained with the SUPG-ROMs are more accurate. Finally, one of the choices for the stabilization parameter is recommended.
