Three-Component Vectorial Proper Orthogonal Decomposition of Axisymmetric Wake Behind a Disk

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...

A New Look at Proper Orthogonal Decomposition

We investigate some basic properties of the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method as it is applied to data compression and model reduction of finite dimensional nonlinear systems. First we provide an analysis of the errors involved in solving a nonlinear ODE initial value problem using a POD reduced order model. Then we study the effects of small perturbations in the ensemble of data fro...

Low Dimensional Azimuthal Characteristics of Suddenly Expanding Axisymmetric Flows using Proper Orthogonal and Fourier Decomposition

Drag Minimization of the Cylinder Wake by Trust-Region Proper Orthogonal Decomposition

In this paper we investigate the optimal control approach for the active control of the circular cylinder wake flow considered in the laminar regime (Re = 200). The objective is the minimization of the mean total drag where the control function is the time harmonic angular velocity of the rotating cylinder. When the Navier-Stokes equations are used as state equations, the discretization of the ...

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...
