POD-ROMs for incompressible flows including snapshots of the temporal derivative of the full order solution: Error bounds for the pressure (2304.08313v1)

Abstract: Reduced order methods (ROMs) for the incompressible Navier--Stokes equations, based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), are studied that include snapshots which approach the temporal derivative of the velocity from a full order mixed finite element method (FOM). In addition, the set of snapshots contains the mean velocity of the FOM. Both the FOM and the POD-ROM are equipped with a grad-div stabilization. A velocity error analysis for this method can be found already in the literature. The present paper studies two different procedures to compute approximations to the pressure and proves error bounds for the pressure that are independent of inverse powers of the viscosity. Numerical studies support the analytic results and compare both methods.
