Learning reduced order models from data for hyperbolic PDEs
share
Given a set of solution snapshots of a hyperbolic PDE, we are interested in learning a reduced order model (ROM). To this end, we propose a novel decompose then learn approach. We decompose the solution by expressing it as a composition of a transformed solution and a de-transformer. Our idea is to learn a ROM for both these objects, which, unlike the solution, are well approximable in a linear reduced space. A ROM for the (untransformed) solution is then recovered via a recomposition. The transformed solution results from composing the solution with a spatial transform that aligns the spatial discontinuities. Furthermore, the de-transformer is the inverse of the spatial transform and lets us recover a ROM for the solution. We consider an image registration technique to compute the spatial transform, and to learn a ROM, we resort to the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) methodology. Several benchmark problems demonstrate the effectiveness our method in representing the data and as a predictive tool.
