A sequence of RB spaces, constructedeither with an enriched velocity formulation or a Petrov-Galerkin projection, is built. As a matter offact, each RB coarse component is tailored to perform a single iteration of the iterative method at hand.The exible GMRES (FGMRES) algorithm is employed to solve the resulting preconditioned systemand targets small tolerances with a very small iteration count and in a very short time. Numerical testcases dealing with Stokes flows in three dimensional parameter-ependent geometries are consideredto assess the numerical performance of the proposed technique in different large scale computationalsettings. A detailed comparison with both the current state of the art of i) standard RB methodsand ii) preconditioning techniques for Stokes equations highlights the better efficiency of the proposedmethodology.text::working paper
