29 Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Mathematical point of view: Given set of functions u k L 2 Ω k = 1,, N -> Exists eigenfunctions φ i i=1 u k = i=1 A i k φ i Eigenvalue λ i is the average energy in the projection of the ensemble onto the basis function φ i Total energy is given by i=1 λ i Select the first n POD modes to get the approximation u k u k = n j=1 A i k φ i POD: Method for computing the optimal linear basis (modes) for representing a sample set of data (snapshots) Goal: Construct the set of orthonormal vectors Φ (POD modes, POD basis vectors) 29

30 Proper Orthogonal Decomposition POD can be performed by Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or solving eigenvalue problem Given matrix A: Compute SVD A = U Σ V T Basis vector: φ i 2 = U,i and λ i = ii Compute eigenvalue of AA T V = Λ V Basis vector: φ i = V,i and λ i = Λ ii Compute eigenvalue of A T A V = Λ V Basis vector: φ i = A V,i / λ i and λ i = Λ ii Algorithm: POD procedure to find the basis vectors capture desired accuracy Input: Snapshots matrix U, desired accuracy E Output: Truncated POD basis vectors Φ Compute covariance matrix C = U T U Compute eigenvalue decomposition Ψ, Λ = eig C Set Φ i = U Ψ,i / λ i Set λ i = Λ ii for i = 1,, M Define K based on desired accuracy E as: i=1 K λ i / M i=1 λ i E Return: truncated POD basis Φ by taking the first K columns of Φ 30
