This book aims to provide with some approaches for lessening the unknowns of the FE methods of unsteady PDEs. It provides a very detailed theoretical foundation of finite element (FE) and mixed finite element (MFE) methods in the first 2 chapters, and then Chapter 3 provides the FE and MFE methods to solve unsteady partial differential equations (PDEs). In the following 2 chapters, the principle and application of two proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) methods are introduced in detail. This book can be used as both the introduction of FE method and the gateway to the FE frontier. For readers who want to learn the FE and MFE methods for solving various steady and unsteady PDEs, they will find the first 3 chapters very helpful. While those who care about engineering applications may jump to the last 2 chapters that introduce the construction of dimension reduction models and their applications to practical process calculations. This part could help them to improve the calculation efficiency and save CPU runtime so as to do wonders for their engineering calculations.

Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Methods for Partial Differential Equations evaluates the potential applications of POD reduced-order numerical methods in increasing computational efficiency, decreasing calculating load and alleviating the accumulation of truncation error in the computational process. Introduces the foundations of finite-differences, finite-elements and finite-volume-elements. Models of time-dependent PDEs are presented, with detailed numerical procedures, implementation and error analysis. Output numerical data are plotted in graphics and compared using standard traditional methods. These models contain parabolic, hyperbolic and nonlinear systems of PDEs, suitable for the user to learn and adapt methods to their own R&D problems. Explains ways to reduce order for PDEs by means of the POD method so that reduced-order models have few unknowns Helps readers speed up computation and reduce computation load and memory requirements while numerically capturing system characteristics Enables readers to apply and adapt the methods to solve similar problems for PDEs of hyperbolic, parabolic and nonlinear types
