Reduced order modeling for spectral element methods: current developments in Nektar++ and further perspectives

In this paper, we present recent efforts to develop reduced order modeling (ROM) capabilities for spectral element methods (SEM). Namely, we detail the implementation of ROM for both continuous Galerkin and discontinuous Galerkin methods in the spectral/hp element library Nektar++. The ROM approaches adopted are intrusive methods based on the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). They admit an offline-online decomposition, such that fast evaluations for parameter studies and many-queries are possible. An affine parameter dependency is exploited such that the reduced order model can be evaluated independent of the large-scale discretization size. The implementation in the context of SEM can be found in the open-source model reduction software ITHACA-SEM.
