The role of energy and entropy in the decomposition of turbulent velocity flow-fields is shown in this paper. Decomposition methods based on the energy concept are taken into account—proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and its extension bi-orthogonal decomposition (BOD). The methods are well known; however, various versions are used and the interpretation of results is not straightforward. To make this clearer, the specific definition of modes is suggested and specified; moreover, energy- and entropy-motivated views on the decomposed modes are presented. This concept could offer new possibilities in the physical interpretation of modes and in reduced-order modeling (ROM) strategy efficiency evaluation.

The paper develops a reduced-order model of nonsynchronous vibration (NSV) using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) methods. The approach was successfully developed and implemented, requiring between two and six POD modes to accurately predict computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions that are experiencing NSV. This POD method was first developed and demonstrated for a transversely moving, two-dimensional cylinder in cross-flow. Later, the method was used for the prediction of CFD solutions for a two-dimensional compressor blade. This research is the first to offer a POD approach to the reduced-order modeling of NSV in turbomachinery. Modeling NSV is especially challenging because NSV is caused by complicated, unsteady flow dynamics; this initial study helps researchers understand the causes of NSV, and aids in the future development of predictive tools for aeromechanical design engineers.

Abstract This article introduces some soft computing methods generally used for data analysis and flow pattern detection in fluid dynamics. These techniques decompose the original flow field as an expansion of modes, which can be either orthogonal in time (variants of dynamic mode decomposition), or in space (variants of proper orthogonal decomposition) or in time and space (spectral proper orthogonal decomposition), or they can simply be selected using some sophisticated statistical techniques (empirical mode decomposition). The performance of these methods is tested in the turbulent wake of a wall-mounted square cylinder. This highly complex flow is suitable to show the ability of the aforementioned methods to reduce the degrees of freedom of the original data by only retaining the large scales in the flow. The main result is a reduced-order model of the original flow case, based on a low number of modes. A deep discussion is carried out about how to choose the most computationally efficient method to obtain suitable reduced-order models of the flow. The techniques introduced in this article are data-driven methods that could be applied to model any type of non-linear dynamical system, including numerical and experimental databases.

This paper deals with the development of an accurate reduced-order model of a bladed disk with geometric mistuning. The method is based on vibratory modes of various tuned systems and proper orthogonal decomposition of coordinate measurement machine (CMM) data on blade geometries. Results for an academic rotor are presented to establish the validity of the technique.

The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is the prevailing method for basis generation in the model reduction of fluids. A serious limitation of this method, however, is that it is empirical. In other words, this basis accurately represents the flow data used to generate it, but may not be accurate when applied ‘off-design’. Thus, the reduced-order model may lose accuracy for flow parameters (e.g. Reynolds number, initial or boundary conditions and forcing parameters) different from those used to generate the POD basis and generally does. This paper investigates the use of sensitivity analysis in the basis selection step to partially address this limitation. We examine two strategies that use the sensitivity of the POD modes with respect to the problem parameters. Numerical experiments performed on the flow past a square cylinder over a range of Reynolds numbers demonstrate the effectiveness of these strategies. The newly derived bases allow for a more accurate representation of the flows when exploring the parameter space. Expanding the POD basis built at one state with its sensitivity leads to low-dimensional dynamical systems having attractors that approximate fairly well the attractor of the full-order Navier–Stokes equations for large parameter changes.

Abstract Dynamic models have proven to be helpful for determining the residual water content in combustible biomass. However, these models often require partial differential equations, which render simulations impracticable when several thousand particles need to be considered, such as in the drying of wood chips. Reduced-order models help to overcome this problem. We compare proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based to balanced truncation based reduced-order models. Both reduced models are lean enough for an application to systems with many particles, but the model based on balanced truncation shows more accurate results.
