Abstract:
In this work we present a stable proper orthogonal decomposition (POD)-Galerkin approximation for parametrized steady Navier-Stokes equations. The stabilization is guaranteed by the use of supremizers solutions that enrich the reduced velocity space. Numerical results show that an equivalent inf-sup condition is fulfilled, yielding stability for both velocity and pressure. Our stability analysis is first carried out from a theoretical standpoint, then confirmed by numerical tests performed on a parametrized two-dimensional backward facing step flow.
