Rapid high-fidelity aerothermal responses with quantified uncertainties via reduced-order modeling

Carlberg, Kevin T.; Howard, Micah A.; Freno, Brian A.

This project will enable high-fidelity aerothermal simulations of hypersonic vehicles to be employed (1) to generate large databases with quantified uncertainties and (2) for rapid interactive simulation. The databases will increase the volume/quality of A4H data; rapid interactive simulation can enable arbitrary conditions/designs to be simulated on demand. We will achieve this by applying reduced-order-modeling techniques to aerothermal simulations.

Advanced Technology and Mitigation (ATDM) SPARC Re-Entry Code Fiscal Year 2017 Progress and Accomplishments for ECP

Crozier, Paul C.; Howard, Micah A.; Rider, William J.; Freno, Brian A.; Bova, S.W.; Carnes, Brian C.

The SPARC (Sandia Parallel Aerodynamics and Reentry Code) will provide nuclear weapon qualification evidence for the random vibration and thermal environments created by re-entry of a warhead into the earth’s atmosphere. SPARC incorporates the innovative approaches of ATDM projects on several fronts including: effective harnessing of heterogeneous compute nodes using Kokkos, exascale-ready parallel scalability through asynchronous multi-tasking, uncertainty quantification through Sacado integration, implementation of state-of-the-art reentry physics and multiscale models, use of advanced verification and validation methods, and enabling of improved workflows for users. SPARC is being developed primarily for the Department of Energy nuclear weapon program, with additional development and use of the code is being supported by the Department of Defense for conventional weapons programs.

Constrained reduced-order models based on proper orthogonal decomposition

Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering

Reddy, Sohail R.; Freno, Brian A.; Cizmas, Paul G.A.; Gokaltun, Seckin; McDaniel, Dwayne; Dulikravich, George S.

A novel approach is presented to constrain reduced-order models (ROM) based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). The Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions were applied to the traditional reduced-order model to constrain the solution to user-defined bounds. The constrained reduced-order model (C-ROM) was applied and validated against the analytical solution to the first-order wave equation. C-ROM was also applied to the analysis of fluidized beds. It was shown that the ROM and C-ROM produced accurate results and that C-ROM was less sensitive to error propagation through time than the ROM.
