Abstract: This article presents an innovative approach for developing an efficient reduced-order model to study the dispersion of urban air pollutants. The need for real-time air quality monitoring has become increasingly important, given the rise in pollutant emissions due to urbanization and its adverse effects on human health. The proposed methodology involves solving the linear advection-diffusion problem, where the solution of the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations gives the convective field. At the same time, the source term consists of an empirical time series. However, the computational requirements of this approach, including microscale spatial resolution, repeated evaluation, and low time scale, necessitate the use of high-performance computing facilities, which can be a bottleneck for real-time monitoring. To address this challenge, a problem-specific methodology was developed that leverages a data-driven approach based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition with regression (POD-R) coupled with Galerkin projection (POD-G) endorsed with the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM). The proposed method employs a feedforward neural network to non-intrusively retrieve the reduced-order convective operator required for online evaluation. The numerical framework was validated on synthetic emissions and real wind measurements. The results demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly reduces the computational burden of the traditional approach and is suitable for real-time air quality monitoring. Overall, the study advances the field of reduced order modeling and highlights the potential of data-driven approaches in environmental modeling and large-scale simulations.
