The Proof of Concept “Advanced Reduced order modellinG: Online computational web server for complex parametric Systems” ARGOS wants to fulfil the demand of a Reduced Order Modelling Offline-Online tool, exploitable thanks to the creation of a computational interface, handling and analysing a parametric problem in a very intuitive way. ARGOS is a computational web server hosting several web applications, some with a general purpose and some for very specific problems: users can access directly through the web browser, using their available device, choose the application they need and finally use it to tackle the problem of interest. Thanks to the web application, users do not have to install any package by themselves on their machine. Any device having an internet connection can access ARGOS and run a web computing application. The real time response, due to the model reduction algorithms, combined with the ease of use of ARGOS, matches the industrial demand of intuitive and immediate tools. Within this black-box framework, the final user is not required to have any specific and technical knowledge about reduced order modelling. We thus envision that this approach could be adopted also in many other fields directly related with applied sciences, for example in medicine and environmental studies. ARGOS is going to have a vast audience of companies and institutions, proposing a closer integration between design teams and research and development teams. ARGOS could also be easily connected with emerging technologies related with data assimilation, data science and analytics, industrial digital twins, machine learning, diagnosis and maintenance tools, etc.
The mathematical core of the web platform ARGOS relies on the software developed within the ERC CoG AROMA-CFD project by valorising open source software libraries ITHACA and RBniCS, but also EzyRB, PyDMD, and PINA. Different demos have been developed, for example in bioengineering, structural mechanics, and industrial shape optimisation in fluid dynamics.
