Phase Reconstruction of Shear Layer Instabilities Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition
Lecture - September 25, 2009 (Friday), 10:00-11:00
Dr. Kilian Oberleithner, Technische Universität Berlin, Fachgebiet Experimentelle Strömungsmechanik

Abstract:
Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) is widely used in the field of Reduced Order Modeling (ROM). Based on a large data set of a turbulent flow, a few POD modes are sufficient to characterize the dynamics of the underlying flow. Instability waves that grow in turbulent shear layers are usually represented by two coupled POD modes.  »»»
