🆕 A new article by Lorenzo Tomada, Federico Pichi, and Gianluigi Rozza has been published in the Journal of Computational Physics (Elsevier): “Latent Dynamics Graph Convolutional Networks for model order reduction of parameterized time-dependent PDEs”.

🧠 The paper introduces a data-driven reduced-order modeling framework that combines graph neural networks with a low-dimensional latent representation of dynamical systems. The proposed approach enables the efficient reconstruction of solutions to parameterized time-dependent PDEs, including problems defined on complex geometries, while reducing computational costs.

🆕 A new article by Harsh*th Gowrachari, Mattia Giuseppe Barra, Giovanni Stabile, Gianluca Bazzaro and Gianluigi Rozza is now available online as a pre-proof in Results in Engineering (Elsevier): “Data-driven reduced order model for residence time distribution analysis of an industrial-scale continuous casting tundish”.

⚙️ The paper presents a data-driven reduced order model for predicting the residence time distribution in an industrial continuous-casting tundish, a key component of the steel production process. By accurately reproducing the results of full-order simulations at a fraction of the computational cost, the proposed approach enables efficient real-time analysis and supports process monitoring and optimization in industrial environments.
