Model order reduction in computational fluid dynamics: focus on stabilisation and applications

  • lectures by Gianluigi Rozza, Giovanni Stabile
  • 5–6 December 2022
  • Sala riunioni, DMIF

The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to reduced order methods with particular emphasis on fluid dynamics problems. It also includes some practical exercises using the computational framework developed at SISSA.

Outline of the course: intrusive approaches: POD (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition); non-intrusive approaches: POD-I (Proper Orthogonal Decomposition with Interpolation); reduction in parameter space; model order reduction for turbulence flows; geometry parametrisation; flow control; worked problems in ITHACA-FV (open source library developed at SISSA upon OpenFoam).

Schedule: Monday 5 December, 14:30–16:15 and 16:30–18:15;
Tuesday 6 December, 08:30–10:15 and 10:30–12:15.

The course is offered by the PhD course in Mathematical and Physical Sciences of the University of Udine. Course page: https://www.dmif.uniud.it/dottorato/smf/offerta-didattica/model-order-reduction-in-computational-fluid-dynamics-focus-on-stabilisation-and-applications/.

Giovanni Stabile is assistant professor (RTD-B) in numerical analysis at the Department of Pure and Applied Sciences (DiSPeA), University of Urbino, Italy. From 2016 to 2022 he was assistant professor (RTD-A) and previously PostDoc at SISSA MathLab – International School for Advanced Studies, Trieste, Italy. He received his Ph.D. in 2016 from a joint Ph.D. school between the TU Braunschweig in Germany and the University of Florence in Italy. His current research interests include several aspects concerning the numerical approximation of partial differential equations, with a special emphasis on model order reduction techniques for computational fluid dynamic problems. He has worked with industrial partners on a variety of projects aimed at exporting advanced numerical methods to the industrial world. He is also the maintainer and lead developer of ITHACA-FV, a C++ implementation of several reduced order modeling techniques. (https://www.giovannistabile.com/)
