Introductory material for ROM

The following slides were prepared for the 2008 CISM course on ROM for flow control. They provide a good introduction to the spectrum from standard POD Galerkin models of fluid flows to advanced theories for turbulence control:
  • Motivation for ROM (PDF)
  • Standard POD Galerkin method (PDF)
  • POD models for natural flows (PDF)
  • Mean-field models for transient dynamics (PDF)
  • Finite-time thermodynamics as unifying discipline for stability analysis, turbulence theory and control theory (PDF)
The following reports and monographies may serve as our introductory reading:
  • B.R. NOACK (2006) "Niederdimensionale Modellierung von laminaren und transitionellen Scherströungen", Habilitationsschrift (PDF) (BibTeX)
  • D.M. LUCHTENBURG, B.R. NOACK & M. SCHLEGEL (2009) "An introduction to the POD Galerkin method for fluid flows with analytical examples and MATLAB source codes", Technical Report 01/2009, Chair in Reduced-Order Modelling for Flow Control, Department of Fluid Dynamics and Engineering Acoustics, Berlin Institute of Technology, Germany (PDF) (matlab sources) (BibTeX)
