Abstract: Model order reduction (MOR) of the 2D Burgers equation is investigated. The mathematical formulation of POD/DEIM reduced order model (ROM) is derived based on the Galerkin projection and discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM) from the existing high fidelity implicit finite difference full model. For validation we numerically compared the POD ROM, POD/DEIM and the full model in two cases of Re = 100 and Re = 1000, respectively. We found that the POD/DEIM ROM leads to a speed-up of CPU time by a factor of O(10). The computational stability of POD/DEIM ROM is maintained by means of a careful selection of POD modes and the DEIM interpolation points. The solution of POD/DEIM in the case of Re = 1000 has an accuracy with error O...
