Online adaptive non-intrusive model reduction via manifold interpolation and subspace updates: application to FSI convergence acceleration

We introduce a novel online adaptive non-intrusive reduced-order modeling strategy for parameterized dynamical systems involving parameter and time-dependent reduced bases. The proposed framework is based on a unified Grassmann manifold formulation combining three key components: interpolation of local reduced subspaces for unseen parameters, geodesic online subspace updates driven by incoming high-fidelity snapshots, and a latent-space regression strategy relying on Grassmann-distance weighting and Procrustes alignment to consistently aggregate predictions from multiple local models. The adaptive reduced-order model is embedded in a partitioned fluid-structure interaction framework, where it predicts fluid interface forces to provide accurate initial guesses for the nonlinear coupling iterations, thus achieving computational speedups with no loss of accuracy. The reduced basis and the regression operators are adapted independently during the simulation and without requiring the storage of high-dimensional streaming data, preserving computational efficiency while substantially improving predictive capabilities. Numerical results on reference FSI test cases demonstrate superior accuracy with respect to static and global reduced-order models, leading to a significant reduction in the number of fixed-point iterations required for convergence. The proposed framework offers a flexible and fully non-intrusive approach for the efficient simulation of nonlinear parameter-dependent multiphysics problems.

Equation-informed data-driven identification of flow budgets and dynamics

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an indispensable method of fluid modelling in engineering applications, reducing the need for physical prototypes and testing for tasks such as design optimisation and performance analysis. Depending on the complexity of the system under consideration, models ranging from low to high fidelity can be used for prediction, allowing significant speed-up. However, the choice of model requires information about the actual dynamics of the flow regime. Correctly identifying the regions/clusters of flow that share the same dynamics has been a challenging research topic to date. In this study, we propose a novel hybrid approach to flow clustering. It consists of characterising each sample point of the system with equation-based features, i.e. features are budgets that represent the contribution of each term from the original governing equation to the local dynamics at each sample point. This was achieved by applying the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamical systems (SINDy) method pointwise to time evolution data. The method proceeds with equation-based clustering using the Girvan-Newman algorithm. This allows the detection of communities that share the same physical dynamics. The algorithm is implemented in both Eulerian and Lagrangian frameworks. In the Lagrangian, i.e. dynamic approach, the clustering is performed on the trajectory of each point, allowing the change of clusters to be represented also in time. The performance of the algorithm is first tested on a flow around a cylinder. The construction of the dynamic clusters in this test case clearly shows the evolution of the wake from the steady state solution through the transient to the oscillatory solution. Dynamic clustering was then successfully tested on turbulent flow data. Two distinct and well-defined clusters were identified and their temporal evolution was reconstructed.

Machine-Learning Enhanced Predictors for Accelerated Convergence of Partitioned Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulations

Stable partitioned techniques for simulating unsteady fluid-structure interaction (FSI) are known to be computationally expensive when high added-mass is involved. Multiple coupling strategies have been developed to accelerate these simulations, but often use predictors in the form of simple finite-difference extrapolations. In this work, we propose a non-intrusive data-driven predictor that couples reduced-order models of both the solid and fluid subproblems, providing an initial guess for the nonlinear problem of the next time step calculation. Each reduced order model is composed of a nonlinear encoder-regressor-decoder architecture and is equipped with an adaptive update strategy that adds robustness for extrapolation. In doing so, the proposed methodology leverages physics-based insights from high-fidelity solvers, thus establishing a physics-aware machine learning predictor. Using three strongly coupled FSI examples, this study demonstrates the improved convergence obtained with the new predictor and the overall computational speedup realized compared to classical approaches.

Non-intrusive reduced order models for partitioned fluid-structure interactions

The main goal of this work is to develop a data-driven Reduced Order Model (ROM) strategy from high-fidelity simulation result data of a Full Order Model (FOM). The goal is to predict at lower computational cost the time evolution of solutions of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problems. For some FSI applications, the elastic solid FOM (often chosen as quasi-static) can take far more computational time than the fluid one. In this context, for the sake of performance one could only derive a ROM for the structure and try to achieve a partitioned FOM fluid solver coupled with a ROM solid one. In this paper, we present a data-driven partitioned ROM on two study cases: (i) a simplified 1D-1D FSI problem representing an axisymmetric elastic model of an arterial vessel, coupled with an incompressible fluid flow; (ii) an incompressible 2D wake flow over a cylinder facing an elastic solid with two flaps. We evaluate the accuracy and performance of the proposed ROM-FOM strategy on these cases while investigating the effects of the model's hyperparameters. We demonstrate a high prediction accuracy and significant speedup achievements using this strategy.
