Reduced Order Models (ROMs) are simplified representations of complex systems that capture the essential dynamics while significantly reducing computational cost. They are derived from high-fidelity models, often based on partial differential equations (PDEs) or large-scale simulations, by projecting the system's behavior onto a smaller, more manageable subspace. This reduction is typically achieved using techniques like Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) or Balanced Truncation. The goal is to create a model that is computationally inexpensive to simulate, allowing for rapid analysis, design exploration, and real-time control applications.

The process of creating a ROM generally involves two stages: offline and online. The offline stage is computationally intensive and involves generating snapshots of the system's behavior, performing the dimensionality reduction, and constructing the reduced basis. Once the ROM is built, the online stage is very fast, involving the integration of the low-dimensional ROM equations. ROMs are widely used in various fields, including fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, control systems, and parameter estimation, where full-fidelity simulations are prohibitively expensive or time-consuming. They enable faster iteration in design cycles and facilitate the deployment of complex models in real-time applications.
