Embedded domain Reduced Basis Models for the shallow water hyperbolic equations with the Shifted Boundary Method

We consider fully discrete embedded finite element approximations for a shallow water hyperbolic problem and its reduced-order model. Our approach is based on a fixed background mesh and an embedded reduced basis. The Shifted Boundary Method for spatial discretization is combined with an explicit predictor/multi-corrector time integration to integrate in time the numerical solutions to the shallow water equations, both for the full and reduced-order model. In order to improve the approximation of the solution manifold also for geometries that are untested during the offline stage, the snapshots have been pre-processed by means of an interpolation procedure that precedes the reduced basis computation. The methodology is tested on geometrically parametrized shapes with varying size and position.
