Reduced basis method for the Smagorinsky model

Description

We present a reduced basis Smagorinsky model. This model includes a non-linear eddy diffusion term that we have to treat in order to solve efficiently our reduced basis model. We approximate this non-linear term using the Empirical Interpolation Method, in order to obtain a linearised decomposition of the reduced basis Smagorinsky model. The reduced basis Smagorinsky model is decoupled in a Online/Offline procedure. First, in the Offline stage, we construct hierarchical bases in each iteration of the Greedy algorithm, by selecting the snapshots which have the maximum a posteriori error estimation value. To assure the Brezzi inf-sup condition on our reduced basis space, we have to define a supremizer operator on the pressure solution, and enrich the reduced velocity space. Then, in the Online stage, we are able to compute a speedup solution of our problem, with a good accuracy.
