ime efficiency is a critical concern in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations of industrial applications. Despite the extensive research to improve the underlying numerical schemes to reduce the processing time, many CFD applications still need to improve on this issue. Reduced-Order Models (ROM) appeared as a promising alternative for significantly enhancing cost-effectiveness. The dimension of the initial problem is reduced significantly while keeping an acceptable level of accuracy. Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), a data analysis technique, is widely used to construct a ROM to solve Euler and Navier-Stokes equations in CFD. Many aspects, however, need to be improved. In this paper, first, a general upper-bound error formula is derived, and second, a mesh-adaptivity based algorithm for snapshot locations in parameter space is provided (a sensitive step for POD-based ROM) in the …
