Proper orthogonal decomposition analysis of coherent motions in a turbulent annular jet

Proper orthogonal decomposition of solar photospheric motions.

The spatiotemporal dynamics of the solar photosphere is studied by performing a proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of line of sight velocity fields computed from high resolution data coming from the MDI/SOHO instrument. Using this technique, we are able to identify and characterize the different dynamical regimes acting in the system. Low-frequency oscillations, with frequencies in the range...

Modelling Velocity Structures In Turbulent Floods Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition

There are various techniques available to model the turbulence structure. Turbulence of incompressible water flow (without sediment) can be modelled completely using the Navier-Stokes equations. However for even a small part of a river channel, the size of the problem is many orders of magnitude larger than even the world’s largest super-computers can handle. This means that other techniques ar...

Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Analysis of a Turbulent Swirling Self-Excited Premixed Flame

Reconstruction of large-scale structures and acoustic radiation from a turbulent M=0.9 jet using the proper orthogonal decomposition

The Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) uses data to generate an optimal set of basis functions that represent the " energy " of the data, defined by a user-selected norm. This basis is optimal in the sense that a finite number of these modes represent more of the energy than any other set of orthogonal modes. The POD can be seen, on one hand, as a way to define energetic structures in a flow...

Artificial viscosity proper orthogonal decomposition

We introduce improved reduced-order models for turbulent flows. These models are inspired from successful methodologies used in large eddy simulation, such as artificial viscosity, applied to standardmodels created by proper orthogonal decomposition of flows coupled with Galerkin projection. As a first step in the analysis and testing of our new methodology, we use the Burgers equation with a s...
