This run of POD_BASIS takes the INOUT_FLOW data, applies mass matrix preconditioning, and seeks 16 POD vectors.
Note, from the output file, the singular values associated with each POD vector, which indicate its relative importance:
| Vector | Singular value |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.6713 |
| 2 | 0.1767 |
| 3 | 0.1611 |
| 4 | 0.0780 |
| 5 | 0.0421 |
| 6 | 0.0369 |
| 7 | 0.0226 |
| 8 | 0.0188 |
| 9 | 0.0142 |
| 10 | 0.0111 |
| 11 | 0.0092 |
| 12 | 0.0067 |
| 13 | 0.0066 |
| 14 | 0.0043 |
| 15 | 0.0036 |
| 16 | 0.0023 |
The main output of the run is the POD vectors, each in a separate file, which can be regarded as flow solutions:
Each of the POD vectors can be plotted by VECTOR_PLOT, using the xy.txt file from the CAVITY_FLOW database. I only plotted the first four:
