Description
pyforce (Python Framework for data-driven model Order Reduction of multi-physiCs problEms) is a Python package implementing some Data-Driven Reduced Order Modelling (DDROM) techniques for applications to multi-physics problems, mainly set in the nuclear engineering world. These techniques have been implemented upon the dolfinx package (currently v0.6.0), part of the FEniCSx project, to handle mesh generation, integral calculation and functions storage. The package is part of the ROSE (Reduced Order modelling with data-driven techniques for multi-phySics problEms) which is one of the main research topics investigated at the ERMETE-Lab: in particular, the focus of the research activities is on mathematical algorithms aimed at reducing the complexity of multi-physics models with a focus on nuclear reactor applications, searching for optimal sensor positions and integrating experimental data to improve the knowledge on the physical systems.
At the moment, the following techniques have been implemented:
Proper Orthogonal Decomposition with Projection and Interpolation for the Online Phase
Generalised Empirical Interpolation Method, either with or without Tikhonov’s regularisation
Parameterised-Background Data-Weak formulation
an Indirect Reconstruction algorithm to reconstruct non-observable fields
This package is aimed to be a valuable tool for other researchers, engineers, and data scientists working in various fields, not only restricted to the nuclear engineering world. This documentation includes a brief introduction to the world of Reduced Order Modelling and dimensionality reduction, the API documentation and some examples of how to use the various modules of the package.
This work has been carried out at the Nuclear Reactors Group - ERMETE Lab at Politecnico di Milano, under the supervision of Prof. Antonio Cammi.
