Certified Reduced Basis Approximation for Parametrized Partial Differential Equations and Applications
Reduction strategies, such as model order reduction (MOR) or reduced basis (RB) methods, in scientic computing may become crucial in applications of increasing complexity. In this paper we review the reduced basis method (built upon a high-delity "truth" finite element approximation) for a rapid and reliable approximation of parametrized partial differential equations, and comment on their potential impact on applications of industrial interest. The essential ingredients of RB methodology are: a Galerkin projection onto a low-dimensional space of basis functions properly selected, an affine parametric dependence enabling to perform a competitive Offline- Online splitting in the computational procedure, and a rigorous a posteriori error estimation used for both the basis selection and the certication of the solution. The combination of these three factors yields substantial computational savings which are at the basis of an efficient model order reduction, ideally suited for real-time simulation and many-query contexts (e.g. optimization, control or parameter identication). After a brief excursus on the methodology, we focus on linear elliptic and parabolic problems, discussing some extensions to more general classes of problems and several perspectives of the ongoing research. We present some results from applications dealing with heat and mass transfer, conduction-convection phenomena, and thermal treatments.
