An Adaptive Sampling Approach for the Reduced Basis Method
share
The offline time of the reduced basis method can be very long given a large training set of parameter samples. This usually happens when the system has more than two independent parameters. On the other hand, if the training set includes fewer parameter samples, the greedy algorithm might produce a ROM with large errors at the samples outside of the training set. We introduce a method based on a surrogate error model to efficiently sample the parameter domain such that the training set is adaptively updated starting from a coarse set with a small number of parameter samples. A sharp a posteriori error estimator is evaluated on a coarse training set. Radial Basis Functions are used to interpolate the error estimator over a separate fine training set. Points from the fine training set are added into the coarse training set at every iteration based on a user defined criterion. In parallel, parameter samples satisfying a defined tolerance are adaptively removed from the coarse training set. The approach is shown to avoid high computational costs by using a compact training set and to provide a reduced-order model with guaranteed accuracy over the entire parameter domain.
