Reduced Basis Method for the Convected Helmholtz Equation
For researchers in aeroacoustics, this work offers a more efficient way to compute wave propagation solutions across parameter spaces, but the approach is incremental, applying known reduced basis techniques to a specific equation.
The paper proposes a reduced basis method for solving the convected Helmholtz equation with multiple physical parameters, achieving computational savings through Galerkin projection and an efficient a posteriori error estimator. Numerical experiments show good performance and effectivity of the estimator.
We present a reduced basis approach to solve the convected Helmholtz equation with several physical parameters. Physical parameters characterize the aeroacoustic wave propagation in terms of the wave and Mach numbers. We compute solutions for various combinations of parameters and spend a lot of time to figure out the desired set of parameters. The reduced basis method saves the computational effort by using the Galerkin projection, a posteriori error estimator, and greedy algorithm. Here, we propose an efficient a posteriori error estimator based on the primal norm. Numerical experiments demonstrate the good performance and effectivity of the proposed error estimator.
