Comparison Study on Linear Interpolation and Cubic B-Spline Interpolation Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Methods

Abstract EN

In general, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) method is used to deal with single-parameter problems in engineering practice, and the linear interpolation is employed to establish the reduced model.

Recently, this method is extended to solve the double-parameter problems with the amplitudes being achieved by cubic B-spline interpolation.

In this paper, the accuracy of reduced models, which are established with linear interpolation and cubic B-spline interpolation, respectively, is verified via two typical examples.

Both results of the two methods are satisfying, and the results of cubic B-spline interpolation are more accurate than those of linear interpolation.

The results are meaningful for guiding the application of the POD interpolation to complex multiparameter problems.
