Proper orthogonal decomposition investigation in fluid structure interaction

Abstract

This paper describes Reduced Order Modeling (ROM) in Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) and discusses Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) utilization. The ROM method was selected because its performance in fluid mechanics. The principal problems of its application in FSI are due the space character of the modes resulting from the POD whereas domains are mobile. To use POD in moving domain, a charateristic function of fluid is introduced in order to work on a fixed rigid domain, and the global velocity (fluid and structure) is studied. The POD modes efficiency is tested to reconstruct velocity field in one and two-dimensional FSI case. Then reducing dynamic system using POD is introduced in moving boundaries problem. In addition, the one dimensional case of Burgers equation coupled with spring equation is tested.
