Résumé : Parametrized PDE (Partial Differential Equation) Apps are PDE solvers which satisfy stringent per-query performance requirements: less-than or approximate 5-second problem specification time; less-than or approximate 5-second problem solution time, field and outputs; less-than or approximate 5% solution error, specified metrics; less-than or approximate 5-second solution visualization time. Parametrized PDE apps are relevant in many-query, real-time, and interactive contexts such as design, parameter estimation, monitoring, and education.
In this talk we describe and demonstrate a PDE App computational methodology. The numerical approach comprises three ingredients: component => system synthesis, formulated as a static-condensation procedure; model order reduction, informed by evanescence arguments at component interfaces (port reduction) and low-dimensional parametric manifolds in component interiors (reduced basis techniques); and parallel computation, implemented in a cloud environment. We provide examples in acoustics and also linear elasticity.
