Abstract Modeling numerically Flow-Induced Vibrations in heat exchangers at a microscopic scale requires high computational resources and time which are still unreachable. Therefore model reduction is investigated in the present work in order to address the issue of simulation computational time reduction. In the framework of POD-Galerkin projection methods, the purpose is to propose optimal a posteriori reduction strategies enabling error control on approximation as well as Reduced-Order Model (ROM) interpolation to deal with sensitivity analysis of solutions to parameter perturbations. A multi-phase fluid–solid POD-Galerkin-based method is proposed for modeling flows and vibrations in cylinder arrangements under single-phase fluid cross-flows. Moreover a single-POD basis method is evaluated in the context of ROM interpolation. This work is a first step in the development of robust ROM describing fluid and solid dynamics in the presence of turbulence, heat transfer effects and large magnitude structure displacements and deformations.
