Lagrangian Dynamic Mode Decomposition for Construction of Reduced-Order Models of Advection-Dominated Phenomena
Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) are two complementary singular-value decomposition (SVD) techniques that are widely used to construct reduced-order models (ROMs) in a variety of fields of science and engineering. Despite their popularity, both DMD and POD struggle to formulate accurate ROMs for advection-dominated problems because of the nature of SVD-based methods. We investigate this shortcoming of conventional POD and DMD methods formulated within the Eulerian framework. Then we propose a Lagrangian-based DMD method to overcome this so-called translational issues. Our approach is consistent with the spirit of physics-aware DMD since it accounts for the evolution of characteristic lines. Several numerical tests are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed Lagrangian DMD method.
