In this work we propose a novel method to ensure important entropy inequalities are satisfied semi-discretely when constructing reduced order models (ROMs) on nonlinear reduced manifolds. We are in particular interested in ROMs of systems of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The so-called entropy stability property endows the semi-discrete ROMs with physically admissible behaviour. The method generalizes earlier results on entropy-stable ROMs constructed on linear spaces. The ROM works by evaluating the projected system on a well-chosen approximation of the state that ensures entropy stability. To ensure accuracy of the ROM after this approximation we locally enrich the tangent space of the reduced manifold with important quantities. Using numerical experiments on some well-known equations (the inviscid Burgers equation, shallow water equations and compressible Euler equations) we show the improved structure-preserving properties of our ROM compared to standard approaches and that our approximations have minimal impact on the accuracy of the ROM. We additionally generalize the recently proposed polynomial reduced manifolds to rational polynomial manifolds and show that this leads to an increase in accuracy for our experiments.

A novel hyper-reduction method is proposed that conserves kinetic energy and momentum for reduced order models of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The main advantage of conservation of kinetic energy is that it endows the hyper-reduced order model (hROM) with a nonlinear stability property. The new method poses the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) as a minimization problem and subsequently imposes constraints to conserve kinetic energy. Two methods are proposed to improve the robustness of the new method against error accumulation: oversampling and Mahalanobis regularization. Mahalanobis regularization has the benefit of not requiring additional measurement points. Furthermore, a novel method is proposed to perform energy- and momentum-conserving temporal localization with the principle interval decomposition: new interface conditions are derived such that energy and momentum are conserved for a full time-integration instead of only during separate intervals. The performance of the new energy- and momentum-conserving hyper-reduction methods and the energy- and momentum-conserving temporal localization method is analysed using three convection-dominated test cases; a shear-layer roll-up, two-dimensional homogeneous isotropic turbulence and a time-periodic inviscid flow consisting of a vortex in a uniform background flow. Our main finding is that energy conservation in combination with oversampling or regularization leads to a robust method with excellent long time stability properties. When any of these two ingredients is missing, accuracy and/or stability is significantly impaired.
