Abstract: For reduced order models (ROMs) of fluid flows, we investigate theoretically and computationally whether differentiation and ROM spatial filtering commute, i.e., whether the commutation error (CE) is nonzero. We study the CE for the Laplacian and two ROM filters: the ROM projection and the ROM differential filter. Furthermore, when the CE is nonzero, we investigate whether it has any significant effect on ROMs that are constructed by using spatial filtering. As numerical tests, we use the Burgers equation with viscosities u=10−1 and u=10−3 and a 2D flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers Re=1 and Re=100. Our investigation shows that: (i) the CE exists, and (ii) the CE has a significant effect on ROM development for low Reynolds numbers, but not so much for higher Reynolds numbers.


Reduced-order modeling (ROM) is an efficient method for numerical simulations of fluid flows, by reducing the state space dimension. However, it could be inaccurate when the ROM dimension is too low to capture the relevant flow features. Luckily, this can be remedied by ROM spatial filters. This paper studies the commutation error (CE) of ROM with two types of ROM spatial filters (the ROM differential filter and the ROM projection filter) and finds out that CE has a significant effect on the ROM development for low Reynolds numbers, but not so much for higher Reynolds numbers.
