Component-based model order reduction procedure for large scales Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical systems

Abstract

In this work we develop a component-based model order reduction (CB-pMOR) procedure for a class of problems in nonlinear mechanics with internal variables. The work is motivated by applications to thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) systems for radioactive waste disposal. The THM system is coupled, time-dependent, and highly nonlinear; furthermore, the solution to the problem depends on several parameters, which might be related to the geometric configuration (e.g. the number of repositories, their distance or their size) or the material properties of the medium. We investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method in terms of accuracy and computational costs for a two-dimensional THM system in the case of overlapping partitions
