In formulating mathematical models for dynamical systems, the model must be useful for its intended
application. In general qualitative correct models are very complex. The model reduction step becomes
a crucial step in the development of optimization and estimation techniques for large scale systems.
Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) based techniques have been broadly applied to flow control
and optimization problem. POD is based on second-order statistical properties, which result in a set of
empirical eigenfunctions (also called spatial modes) from a collection of data. These modes are used in
a weighted residual method to obtain a finite dimensional low-order dynamical system which has the
smallest degree of freedom possible. In this article, firstly, we extract structural information from large
amounts of data obtained from the simulation. Secondly, we design a observer for reconstruction the
field. Finally, by a simulation it proves the effectiveness of this kind of simple low-order
representation.
