“…Reduced Order Models have been extensively investigated as low cost prediction methods in several fields of engineering. As far as fluid mechanics is concerned there are several different approaches: Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) [15,18,20,31,36,42,43,46,47,53], Proper Generalised Decomposition (PGD) [22], Reduced Basis (RB) [40,41], Dynamic Mode Decomposition [45], Grassmannian interpolation [4], Empirical Interpolation Method (EIM) [9], Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM) [21], hyper-reduction [6,44,54], regularized ROM [52], domain decomposition approaches [8,13,16]. In this work the attention is focused on the use of POD for the prediction of compressible steady flows described by the Euler equations or by the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations.…”
