DEIM-embedded hybrid snapshot simulation for reduced order model generation.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to establish an intelligent framework to generate the data representatives in snapshot simulation in order to construct the online reduced-order model based on the generated data information. It could greatly reduce the computational time in snapshot simulation and accelerate the computational efficiency in the real-time computation of reduced-order modeling. Design/methodology/approach: The snapshot simulation, which generates the data to construct reduced-order models (ROMs), usually is computationally demanding. In order to accelerate the snapshot generation, this paper presents a discrete element interpolaiton method (DEIM)-embedded hybrid simulation approach, in which the entire snapshot simulation is partitioned into multiple intervals of equal length. One of the three models: the full order model (FOM), local ROM, or local ROM-DEIM which represents a hierarchy of model approximations, fidelities and computational costs, will be adopted in each interval. Findings: The outcome of the proposed snapshot simulation is an efficient ROM-DEIM applicable to various online simulations. Compared with the traditional FOM and the hybrid method without DEIM, the proposed method is able to accelerate the snapshot simulation by 54.4%–63.91% and 10.5%–27.85%, respectively. In the online simulation, ROM-DEIM only takes 4.81%–8.56% of the computational time of FOM, while preserving excellent accuracy (with relative error <1%). Originality/value: 1. A DEIM-embedded hybrid snapshot simulation methodology is proposed to accelerate snapshot data generation and reduced-order model (ROM)-DEIM development. 2. The simulation alternates among FOM, ROM and ROM-DEIM to adaptively generate snapshot data of salient subspace representation while minimizing computational load. 3. The DEIM-embedded hybrid snapshot approach demonstrates excellent accuracy (<1% error) and computational efficiency in both online snapshot simulation and online ROM-DEIM verification simulation.
