Description

A ReducedThermalModel object contains the reduced stiffness matrix K, reduced mass matrix M, reduced load vector F, initial conditions, mode shapes, mesh, and the average of snapshots used for proper orthogonal decomposition (POD).

To expand this data to a full transient thermal solution, use reconstructSolution.

Creation

Reduce a thermal model by using the reduce function. This function returns a reduced-order thermal model as a ReducedThermalModel object.

Reduce a thermal model using all modes or the specified number of modes from the modal solution.

Create a transient thermal model.

thermalmodel = createpde("thermal","transient");

Create a unit square geometry and include it in the model.

geometryFromEdges(thermalmodel,@squareg);

Plot the geometry, displaying edge labels.

pdegplot(thermalmodel,"EdgeLabels","on")
xlim([-1.1 1.1])
ylim([-1.1 1.1])

Figure contains an axes object. The axes object contains 5 objects of type line, text.

Specify the thermal conductivity, mass density, and specific heat of the material.

thermalProperties(thermalmodel,"ThermalConductivity",400, ...
                               "MassDensity",1300, ...
                               "SpecificHeat",600);

Set the temperature on the right edge to 100.

thermalBC(thermalmodel,"Edge",2,"Temperature",100);

Set an initial value of 0 for the temperature.

thermalIC(thermalmodel,0);

Generate a mesh.

generateMesh(thermalmodel);

Solve the model for three different values of heat source and collect snapshots. 

tlist = 0:10:600;
snapShotIDs = [1:10 59 60 61];
Tmatrix = [];

heatVariation = [10000 15000 20000];
for q = heatVariation
    internalHeatSource(thermalmodel,q);
    results = solve(thermalmodel,tlist);
    Tmatrix = [Tmatrix,results.Temperature(:,snapShotIDs)];
end

Switch the thermal model analysis type to modal.

thermalmodel.AnalysisType = "modal";

Compute the POD modes.

RModal = solve(thermalmodel,"Snapshots",Tmatrix)
RModal = 
  ModalThermalResults with properties:

          DecayRates: [6x1 double]
          ModeShapes: [1529x6 double]
    SnapshotsAverage: [1529x1 double]
            ModeType: "PODModes"
                Mesh: [1x1 FEMesh]

Reduce the thermal model using all modes in RModal.

Rtherm = reduce(thermalmodel,"ModalResults",RModal) 
Rtherm = 
  ReducedThermalModel with properties:

                    K: [7x7 double]
                    M: [7x7 double]
                    F: [7x1 double]
    InitialConditions: [7x1 double]
                 Mesh: [1x1 FEMesh]
           ModeShapes: [1529x6 double]
     SnapshotsAverage: [1529x1 double]

Reduce the thermal model using only three modes.

Rtherm3 = reduce(thermalmodel,"ModalResults",RModal, ...
                              "NumModes",3)
Rtherm3 = 
  ReducedThermalModel with properties:

                    K: [4x4 double]
                    M: [4x4 double]
                    F: [4x1 double]
    InitialConditions: [4x1 double]
                 Mesh: [1x1 FEMesh]
           ModeShapes: [1529x3 double]
     SnapshotsAverage: [1529x1 double]
