Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (snapshot)

Arrange fluctuating part
of velocity components
for the N snapshots as:
Calculate the matrix:
Solve the eigenvalue problem:

Arrange solutions by eigenvalue as:
POD modes are now
found as:
POD coefficients and reconstruction

With POD modes arranged as
POD coefficients ai can be found for the snapshot
n as
or
A snapshot (fluctuating part) can be reconstructed as
MATLAB script example

% create matrix will all fluctuating velocity components for each snapshot in a column
Uall=[reshape(Uf,ni*nj,ns);reshape(Vf,ni*nj,ns)];
% Do POD analysis
R=Uall'*Uall;
% Autocovariance matrix
[eV,D]=eig(R);
% solve: eV is eigenvectors, D is eigenvalues in diagonal matrix
[L,I]=sort(diag(D));
% sort eigenvalues in ascending order - I is sorted index vector
for i=1:length(D)
eValue(length(D)+1-i)=L(i);
% Eigenvalues sorted in descending order
eVec(:,length(D)+1-i)=eV(:,I(i)); % Eigenvectors sorted in the same order

end;
eValue(length(eValue))=0;
% last eigenvalue should be zero
menergy=eValue/sum(eValue); % relative energy associated with mode m
% calculate the first 10 modes

for i=1:10
tmp=Uall*eVec(:,i);
% find mode
phi(:,i)=tmp/norm(tmp);
% normalize mode
end;
only 14 lines of code programming POD is not very difficult!

POD properties
Eigenvalue reflects relative kinetic energy
associated with corresponding mode
A snapshot may often be reconstructed
satisfactorily using a few of the most
energetic modes
The most energetic modes can be viewed as
dominant flow structures
Cylindrical cavity with rotation lid

Vortex in a cylinder
Looking for instabilities in
laminar flow
Well-know vortex breakdown,
but is there non-axisymmetric
instabilities?
LDA finds frequencies, but is
this in oscillations in time or a
rotating structure?

18
Data analysis using POD

Detect vortex position on snapshots and
track vortex in time
Evaluate fluctuating energy associated with
vortex and the turbulence kinetic energy
excluding the vortex movements
Other modes suggest dual vortices and
other phenomena

Visualization in turbulent flows

Traditional visualization experiments use
laminar in-flow
Real applications have turbulent in-flow
Studies and comparison needs new tool
we will try Proper Orthogonal Decomposition
(POD).

Conclusions jet in crossflow

POD on different planes agree on first two modes
Semi-periodic flow features can be guessed from
non-time resolving measurements
Most important modes are connected to generation
of wake vortices involves jet core.
Despite some difference in mean field, POD shows
that PIV dynamics agrees well with LES
A part of the work is published in J. Fluid Mech. (2007), vol. 583, pp. 199227.
