We propose a non-intrusive reduced-order modeling method based on the notion of space-timeparameter proper orthogonal decomposition for approximating the solution of non-linear parametrized time-dependent partial differential equations. A two-level proper orthogonal decomposition method is introduced for constructing spatial and temporal basis functions with special properties such that the reduced-order model satisfies the boundary and initial conditions by construction. A radial basis function approximation method is used to estimate the undetermined coefficients in the reduced-order model without resorting to Galerkin projection. This nonintrusive approach enables the application of our approach to general problems with complicated nonlinearity terms. Numerical studies are presented for the parametrized Burgers' equation and a parametrized convection-reaction-diffusion problem. We demonstrate that our approach leads to reduced-order models that accurately capture the behavior of the field variables as a function of the spatial coordinates, the parameter vector and time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
