In this talk we will present an overview of the Loewner framework for the reduction of dynam-
ical systems both linear and nonlinear. Both time-domain and frequency-domain methods will
be discussed, followed by sevarl numerical examples.

The motivation of this work is to enable the usage of multi-phase hydraulic models, such as the
Drift Flux Model (DFM) [1], in developing automation strategies for real-time down-hole pres-
sure management in drilling systems. The DFM is a system of multi-scale non-linear hyperbolic
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and its response is dominated by wave propagation char-
acteristics. The central aim of this work is to accurately capture wave-front propagation (and
wave interaction) phenomena (induced by slow or fast transients) in a reduced-order modeling
framework.

Moving discontinuities (shock-fronts) are representative features of the models governed
by hyperbolic PDEs. Such features pose a major hindrance to obtain effective reduced-order
model representations [2]. This motivates us to investigate and propose efficient, advanced, and
automated approaches to obtain reduced models, while still guaranteeing the accurate approxi-
mation of wave propagation phenomena.

We propose a new model order reduction (MOR) approach to obtain an effective reduction
for transport-dominated problems or hyperbolic PDEs. The main ingredient is a novel decom-
position of the solution into a function that tracks the evolving discontinuity and a residual part
that is devoid of shock features. This decomposition ansatz is then combined with Proper Or-
thogonal Decomposition applied to the residual part only to develop an efficient reduced-order
model representation for problems with multiple moving and possibly merging discontinuous
features. Numerical case studies show the potential of the approach in terms of computational
accuracy compared with standard MOR techniques.
