Detailed Description

(Beta Release) STDMD (i.e. Streaming Total Dynamic Mode Decomposition) is a variant of a data-driven dimensionality reduction method.

STDMD is being used as a mathematical post-processing tool to compute a set of dominant modes out of a given flow (or dataset) each of which is associated with a constant frequency and decay rate, so that dynamic features of a given flow may become interpretable, and tractable. Among other Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) variants, STDMD is presumed to provide the general DMD method capabilities alongside economised and feasible memory and CPU usage.

The code implementation corresponds to Figs. 15-16 of the first citation below, more broadly to Section 2.4.

field Name of the operand field word yes -

Options for the modeSorter entry:

      kiewat    | Modified weighted amplitude scaling method
      kouZhang  | Weighted amplitude scaling method
      firstSnap | Method of first snapshot amplitude magnitude

The inherited entries are elaborated in:

Usage by postProcess utility is not available.

Note
  • To specify the STDMD time-step size (not necessarily equal to the time step of the simulation), entries of either stdmdInterval or executeInterval must be available (highest to lowest precedence). While stdmdInterval allows users to directly specify the STDMD time-step size in seconds, in absence of stdmdInterval, for convenience, executeInterval allows users to compute the STDMD time-step internally by multiplying itself with the current time-step size of the simulation.
  • Limitation: Restart is currently not available since intermediate writing of STDMD matrices are not supported.
  • Limitation: Non-physical input (e.g. full-zero fields) may upset STDMD.
  • Warning: DMD is an active research area at the time of writing; therefore, there would be cases whereat oddities might be encountered.
  • Warning: This STDMD release is the beta release; therefore, small-to-medium changes in input/output interfaces and internal structures should be expected in the next versions.
  • Warning: In modeSorter algorithms of kiewat and kouZhang, there exists a function of \(power(x,y)\) where x is the magnitude of an eigenvalue, and y is the number of STDMD snapshots. This function poses a risk of overflow errors since, for example, if x ends up above 1.5 with 500 snapshots or more, this function automatically throws the floating point error meaning overflow. Therefore, the domain-range of this function is heuristically constrained by the optional entry sortLimiter which skips the evaluation of this function for a given mag(eigenvalue)*(no. of STDMD steps), i.e. x*y, whose magnitude is larger than sortLimiter.
