Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), as one of the most commonly used tools to generate reduced order models, has been utilized in many engineering and scientific applications. The idea of POD consists of extracting the dominant features of a data set, which are naturally assumed to represent Galerkin finite element solution of a partial differential equation. In this way, POD reduces the complexity of systems. Despite the widespread use of POD, it can perform quite poorly for turbulence flows. Projection-based variational multiscale (VMS) method is one of the best approaches that increase the numerical stability. The basic idea in VMS is adding artificial viscosity only to smallest resolved scales instead of all resolved scales to eliminate small scale oscillations. The usual finite element discretization sorting of scales is complicated, but in POD, basis functions are sorted in descending order with respect to their kinetic energy. Thus, the POD is suitable to the VMS methodology. First, we propose, analyze and test a post-processing implementation of a projectionbased VMS method with POD for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We present a theoretical analysis of the method, and give results for several numerical tests on benchmark problems which both illustrate the theory and show the proposed method’s effectiveness. Second, we extend POD reduced order modeling to flows governed by double diffusive convection, which models flow driven by two potentials with different rates of diffusion. We present a stability and convergence analysis for it, and give results for numerical tests. In the last part of the thesis, we present a VMS reduced order model based on POD for the Darcy Brinkman equations. The proposed scheme uses VMS type stabilization in POD. For the temporal discretization of the system, Crank Nicholson is utilized. The numerical analysis for the VMS-POD is carried out and numerical studies are performed to verify the theoretical findings.

Reduced Order Optimal Control Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Sensitivities
Karasözen, Bülent (2015-06-02)
In general, reduced-order model (ROM) solutions obtained using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) at a single parameter cannot approximate the solutions at other parameter values accurately. In this paper, parameter sensitivity analysis is performed for POD reduced order optimal control problems (OCPs) governed by linear diffusion-convection-reaction equations. The OCP is discretized in space and time by discontinuous Galerkin (dG) finite elements. We apply two techniques, extrapolating and expanding the...

The active muon shield in the SHiP experiment
Akmete, A.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2017-05-01)
The SHiP experiment is designed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. An essential task for the experiment is to keep the Standard Model background level to less than 0.1 event after 2 x 10(20) protons on target. In the beam dump, around 10(11) muons will be produced per second. The muon rate in the spectrometer has to be reduced by at least four orders of magnitude to avoid muon-induced combinatorial bac...
Junction formation in crossed nanotubes under pressure: Molecular-dynamics simulations
Tasci, E; Malcıoğlu, Osman Barış; Erkoc, A (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2005-09-01)
Junction formation in crossed C(10,0) single wall carbon nanotubes under pressure has been investigated, using classical molecular-dynamics simulations at 1 K. It has been found that a stable mechanical junction was formed by means of placing two crossed single wall carbon nanotubes between two rigid graphene layers which move toward each other.
Reduced order optimal control of the convective FitzHugh-Nagumo equations
Karasözen, Bülent; KÜÇÜKSEYHAN, TUĞBA (2020-02-15)
In this paper, we compare three model order reduction methods: the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) for the optimal control of the convective FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) equations. The convective FHN equations consist of the semi-linear activator and the linear inhibitor equations, modeling blood coagulation in moving excitable media. The semilinear activator equation leads to a non-convex optimal control problem (OCP). The ...
