A fully adaptive nonintrusive reduced-order modelling approach for parametrized time-dependent problems

We present an approach to build a reduced-order model for nonlinear, time-dependent, parametrized partial differential equations in a nonintrusive manner. The approach is based on combining proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) with a Smolyak hierarchical interpolation model for the POD coefficients. The sampling of the high-fidelity model to...

Adaptive data-driven reduced-order modelling techniques for nuclear reactor analysis

Large-scale complex systems require high-fidelity models to capture the dynamics of the system accurately. For example, models of nuclear reactors capture multiphysics interactions (e.g., radiation transport, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics) occurring at various scales of time (prompt neutrons to burn-up calculations) and...

A nonintrusive adaptive reduced order modeling approach for a molten salt reactor system

We use a novel nonintrusive adaptive Reduced Order Modeling method to build a reduced model for a molten salt reactor system. Our approach is based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition combined with locally adaptive sparse grids. Our reduced model captures the effect of 27 model parameters on k_eff of the system and the spatial...
