Triple decomposition is a powerful analytical method for a deep understanding of the flow structure by extracting the mean value, organized coherent motion, and stochastic part from a fluctuating quantity. Here, we perform the triple decomposition of the spatial two-dimensional data, especially pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) data, since the PSP method is widely used to measure the pressure distribution on a surface in wind tunnel testing. However, the PSP data measuring near atmospheric pressure contain significant noise, and this makes it difficult to conduct the decomposition. To construct phase-averaged data representing an organized coherent motion, we propose a relatively simple method based on a multi-dimensional scaling plot of the cosine similarity between each PSP datum. Then, the stochastic part is extracted by selecting phase-averaged data with an appropriate phase angle based on the similarity between the measurement and phase-averaged data, and the PSP data are successfully decomposed. Moreover, we consider sparse optimal sensor positions, in which the data are effectively represented, based on the stochastic part as a data-driven approach. The optimal sensor positions are determined as a combinatorial optimization problem and estimated using Fujitsu computing as a service digital annealer. We reconstruct the pressure distribution from the pressure data at the optimal sensor positions using the mean value, organized coherent motion, and stochastic part obtained from the triple decomposition. The root mean square error between the pressure measured by a pressure transducer and the reconstructed pressure obtained by the proposed method is small, even when the number of modes and sensor points is small. The application of PSP measurement is expected to expand further, and the framework for calculating triple decomposition and sparse representation based on the decomposition will be useful for detailed flow analysis.

The Reynolds decomposition is known as a basic method for extracting the stochastic part of flow. In the Reynolds decomposition, a fluctuating quantity fx,t at position vector x and time t is decomposed as
(1)
where f¯x is the mean value for time and fx,t is the deviation from the mean value (the stochastic part). The triple decomposition was proposed for the analysis of a flow field consisting of organized coherent motion.1 In the triple decomposition, a fluctuating quantity fx,t at position vector x and time t is decomposed as
(2)
where f̃x,ϕt is the contribution of the organized coherent motion and ϕt is the phase angle at time t. The decomposition is straightforwardly conducted when a reference signal is available. The phase angle is extracted from the reference signal, and f̃x,ϕt is obtained.1,2 For example, a raw signal is divided into multiple phase angle ranges based on a reference signal, and the signals in each phase angle range are averaged to construct a phase-averaged signal.2 However, reference signals are generally not always available. As a method that does not require a reference signal, an optimal frequency-domain filter deduced from power-spectral estimates is used to extract f̃x,ϕt.3 These methods are useful for data measured by a point measurement technique such as a hot-wire anemometer and a laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV). The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is used to extract a coherent structure for the analysis of spatial two-dimensional (2D) data measured by techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV)4 and Schlieren method.5 The extracted coherent structure reconstructed by truncated POD modes was similar to that obtained by the phase-averaged fields.4 For example, the averaged pressure and acceleration structures are estimated from PIV data based on this method.6 It has also been applied to the analysis of the coherent velocity fluctuation of swirling turbulent jets.7 The triple decomposition based on the optimal mode decomposition (OMD)8 is proposed to decompose a flow field consisting of large and small coherent structures.9 The OMD method is a generalization of the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) method10 because the OMD method optimizes a subspace basis, whereas the DMD method uses the POD modes as a subspace basis. This method is applied to the analysis of the effect of free-stream turbulence on the near-field growth of the near wake of a cylinder.11 
As a flow measurement method obtaining spatial 2D data, the pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) method12–15 has been applied to various fields of aerodynamics such as aerospace engineering,16–20 fluid machinery,21–25 automotive engineering,26–28 and micro-engineering.29–31 The PSP method enables the measurement of the pressure on the surface to which the PSP coating is applied. The method utilizes oxygen quenching of photoluminescence, and the pressure is measured by the variation of the emission intensity of the PSP coating containing luminescent dye. Since the variation in the emission intensity is small for a small pressure variation, the detection of the small pressure variation is difficult due to the relatively large camera noise compared with the variation of the emission intensity. Therefore, the PSP data contain significant noise. For PSP data, by explicitly describing the measurement noise nx,t at the position vector x and time t, we can decompose pressure px,t as
(3)
where p¯x is the mean value for time, p̃x,ϕt is the contribution of the organized coherent motion, ϕt is the phase angle at time t, and px,t is the stochastic part. The difficulty with the decomposition for PSP data are to extract p̃x,ϕt and px,t from the large measurement noise of nx,t. The POD and DMD analysis can extract a large flow structure, and several methods using POD and DMD are proposed to reduce the noise from time-series PSP data.32–37 These methods enable the selection of the modes to reconstruct the pressure distribution with reduced noise. For example, the empirical selection of POD modes with small noise32 or mode selection by sparse modeling have been proposed.35,37 Although these denoising methods effectively remove the noise, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the application of POP and DMD to the triple decomposition for PSP measurement data. This is because even the first few POD/DMD modes with large energy contributions contain the noise;32,35,36 thus, it is difficult to separate a large-scale structure from the noise. Moreover, data representing a large flow structure reconstructed from these modes do not always coincide with phase-averaged data. As a phase-average method for the PSP method, the conditional image sampling (CIS) method is proposed;38 the CIS method requires the acquisition of a reference signal. In our previous study, we proposed a phase-average method leveraging a time-series clustering method without using a reference signal.39 

In this study, we conduct the triple decomposition for noisy PSP data. We estimate p̃x,ϕt using a simple phase-average method based on our previously proposed method.39 Then, the stochastic part px,t is extracted, and the noise nx,t is removed using the POD analysis and sparse modeling. After conducting the triple decomposition, we estimate optimal sensor positions to effectively represent the distribution using Fujitsu computing as a service digital annealer.40,41 Sparse sensing is realized at optimal sensor positions, which are determined to be the solution to the optimal sensor placement problem.27,42–45 As a demonstration, we apply the proposed method to the PSP data measuring the pressure distribution of the Kármán vortex in our previous studies.46,47 The time-series pressure data are triple-decomposed and reconstructed as noise-suppressed data. The reconstructed pressure data are compared with those measured by a pressure transducer. This triple decomposition without using a reference signal is useful for analyzing flow field data with significant noise, such as the PSP data.

The pressure distribution px,t measured by the PSP method can be decomposed into Eq. (3). First, the mean distribution for time is calculated. Second, the phase-averaged distribution is extracted as the coherent motion. Third, the stochastic part is obtained by calculating px,tp¯xp̃x,ϕt. Finally, the noise of the stochastic part data is reduced. The details of the proposed method are provided in this section.

Theoretically, the mean value of the pressure distribution p¯x is defined as
(4)
However, pressure px,t is measured over a time interval of Δt by a camera in the PSP method, and the measurement time is always limited. The mean value of the measured pressure is calculated as follows:
(5)
where tn is the measured time represented as tn=nΔt and n=0,1,2,,N. The total number of measurements (images for the PSP method) is represented by N.
The pressure p̃x,ϕt organized coherent motion is estimated by a phase-average method. In our previous study, we proposed a phase-average method that does not use a reference signal.39 The brief explanation of the method is provided in this paper. The cosine similarities between each data point are calculated, and the cosine similarity cosθi,j is defined as
(6)
where px,ti,px,tj is the inner product of px,ti and px,tj, and px,ti2 is the 2 norm of px,ti. The integers i and j are within the range of 0iN and 0jN, respectively. Since the pressure px,ti are usually a 2D array, px,ti is reshaped into a column vector in this similarity calculation. Then, the measured pressure data are presented on a 2D scatterplot using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) based on the distance metric sinθi,j/2 between px,ti and px,tj, where sinθi,j/2 is the absolute value of sinθi,j/2. The data on the circle with a radius of 1/2 in the MDS plot represent a periodic phenomenon. However, the data not on the circle are out of the periodic one. In our previous study, the data were classified as a combinatorial optimization problem using Fujitsu computing as a service digital annealer. As a simplified method, we manually classify the data for each phase angle in this study. Then, the phase-averaged data p̃Mx,ϕm are obtained by averaging the data in each phase angle range. The subscript M denotes the number of divisions per period. When one period is divided into M subperiods, the range of each phase angle is 2π/M, and the m th phase angle ϕm, which is defined as the center of each range, is written as
(7)
where m is the integer within the range of 1mM.
The sum of the stochastic part px,tn and noise nx,t at time tn=nΔt is calculated as
(8)
The problem is to determine the phase angle ϕtn because a reference signal is not used in this study. Moreover, the phase-averaged data p̃Mx,ϕm are obtained at the discrete phase angles of ϕm. Following the POD/OMD approach proposed by Baj et al.,9 which focuses on flow velocity and not pressure, p̃x,ϕtn is estimated by the minimization problem as follows:
(9)
(10)
where ψkx is the kth POD/OMD mode and citn is the coefficient at time tn corresponding to the mode ψkx. However, this least squares method will result in overfitting for noisy data. That is, this method will estimate a part of p as a part of p̃.
In this study, we propose an alternative method. We extend the discrete phase-averaged data using the following method: First, p̃Mx,ϕm is reshaped to a column vector, which is written as p̃Mϕm. Second, the matrix P̃M with the column vectors arranged side-by-side is considered as follows:
(11)
The singular value decomposition (SVD) of P̃ is written as
(12)
where U and V are unitary matrices and the superscript indicates the transpose. The matrix Σ is a diagonal matrix whose diagonal elements are singular values. The columns of U are left singular vectors that correspond to the POD modes. The columns of V are right singular vectors representing the phase history of each left singular vector. Third, fitting the amplitude variations V with a curve, the estimated data with an increased number of divisions LM<L per period can be obtained. In other words, we can estimate super-resolution data in the phase direction of the phase-averaged data as
(13)
where Γ is the matrix representing the amplitudes determined by the singular value Σ and the interpolated values by curve fitting. The number of the divisions L is determined by calculating the average of the residuals between p̃Lϕl and the next phase range p̃Lϕl+1, where l is the integer within the range of 1lL. Then, the average of the residuals R is calculated as
(14)
(15)
(16)
where q is the number of pixels of the image and the subscript F indicates the Frobenius norm. It is expected that R will converge for a sufficiently large L. Finally, p̃x,ϕtn is selected as p̃Lx,ϕl, which is equivalent to p̃Lϕl in the reshaped vector form, with the highest cosine similarity to px,tnp¯x.
The stochastic part px,tn is separated from the noise nx,tn. The sum of the stochastic part px,tn and noise nx,t is denoted as
(17)
Here, we again use SVD. The sum p̂x,tn is reshaped to a column vector p̂tn, and the matrix P̂=p̂0p̂Δtp̂2Δtp̂nΔtp̂NΔt is considered. The SVD of P̂ is written as
(18)
where Û and V̂ are unitary matrices and Σ represents singular values. The stochastic part ptn, which is the reshaped form of px,tn, is extracted by truncating the SVD; thus, the stochastic part ptn is written as
(19)
where αtn is the amplitude vector. The amplitude αtn is estimated using sparse modeling based on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO).48–50 However, the estimation of αtn for all pixels of all measured images results in high computational cost. In our previous studies,37,51 we proposed an estimation method for the pressure distribution px,tn based on the selected optimal sensor points determined as the optimal sensor placement problem. Here, we propose the optimal points for detecting the stochastic part ptn. The same algorithm using Fujitsu computing as a service digital annealer51 can be applied, except that the pressure distribution is replaced by the stochastic part ptn. We briefly introduce the algorithm for determining optimal points. More details are provided in our previous study.51 The idea of the method is that the large variation of the POD mode at an optimal point well represents the characteristic of the distribution, and points with similar variation of the mode do not need to be selected. We consider the row vector ûi of ÛΣ̂, and ûi represents the variation of the mode at point i. The weight wûi,ûj between points i and j is defined as
(20)
where θ is the angle between ûi and ûj. The optimal sensor points are selected by solving the maximum clique problem from the undirected graph Gc, whose vertices have the weights larger than c. We solve the independent set problem of the complement graph G¯c of Gc, because a maximum clique problem is equivalent to an independent set problem of the complement graph in general. This problem is known as an NP-hard problem and is solved by Fujitsu computing as a service digital annealer. The independent set is obtained by solving the following minimization problem:
(21)
where xζ=0 or 1 for the ζ th vertex belonging to or not to G¯c, respectively. The set Ω represents the edge set of G¯c. Then, the amplitude αtn is determined by the following minimization problem of LASSO:37 
(22)
where αtn1 is the 1 norm of αtn and S is the matrix indicating optimal sensor positions. The element of S is 1 for the sensor position and 0 for other positions. Then, the stochastic part ptn is estimated by Eq. (19) using the calculated αtn.

We applied the proposed method to the PSP data obtained in our previous study.46,47 The data were the pressure distribution induced by the Kármán vortex behind a square cylinder. The Reynolds number was 1.1×105. The time interval of Δt was 1.0ms. Before applying the proposed method, the PSP distributions were processed by a 5×5 smoothing spatial filter. A typical example of the processed data are shown in Fig. 1. As shown in the figure, the noise was still large for further analysis.

Next, we calculated the cosine similarity for the 21 800 data points by Eq. (6). Since the data contained large amounts of noise, a truncated-SVD of rank five was used to reduce the noise. It is noted that these truncated-SVD data were only used for the calculation of the cosine similarity not for the following phase-averaging calculation. The MDS plot is shown in Fig. 2. The data on the circle with a radius of 1/2 shown in the red dashed line represents a periodic phenomenon; thus, we obtained the phase-averaged data by dividing the data on the circle in 12 subsets (M=12) and averaging each subset. Here, the number of the divisions per period M=12 was determined because the amount of data were not enough to reduce the noise by averaging for some phase range for larger M. The phase-averaged data are shown in Fig. 3, where the phase angle ϕm (m=1,2,,12) is defined in Eq. (7). In this figure, the phase-averaged distributions of p¯x+p̃M=12x,ϕm are presented for ease of visibility. The noise was significantly reduced by averaging.

Based on these discreate phase-averaged data, the super-resolution data in the phase direction of the phase-averaged data were estimated. The SVD of the phase-averaged data was calculated as Eq. (12). As an example, the first six POD modes (column vectors of U) are shown in Fig. 4. We employed the first four modes for estimating the super-resolution data based on the threshold determination method proposed by Donoho and Gavish.52 The amplitudes for the first and third POD modes are shown in Fig. 5. The discrete amplitudes for phase angle were interpolated by following function:
(23)
where vhϕ is the amplitude for h th mode at phase ϕ. For the first mode, a1=0.41, b1=1.00, c1=0.61, a2=0.01, b2=3.00, and c2=1.00. The first mode contains the fundamental and third harmonics. However, the effect of the third harmonic is small. For the third mode, a1=0.01, b1=0.97, c1=1.11, a2=0.41, b2=2.00, and c2=2.10. The third mode contains the fundamental and second harmonics. Then, the number of divisions per period was determined to be L=96 based on Eq. (14), where R converged almost to 2.0×108. Then, the super-resolution data were estimated by Eq. (13). Then, p̃x,ϕtn was selected as p̃Lx,ϕl with the maximum cosine similarity to px,tnp¯x. Here, the amplitude of p̃Lx,ϕl was also determined by maximizing the similarity because the amplitude of the vortex varied. Figure 6 shows the selected phase for px,tnp¯x over time up to 128ms. As shown in the figure, the selected phase-averaged image changed periodically over time. Figures 7 and 8 show typical images of p̂x,tn shown in Eq. (17) and the first six POD modes of p̂x,tn, respectively. While the significant noise was observed on p̂x,tn, the noise on the POD modes is small due to the SVD calculation based on a large number of images (21 800 images). Based on the POD modes, we calculated optimal sensor positions by Eq. (21) and show an example of sensor positions in Fig. 9. The optimal sensors were placed where the vortices passed. This trend was similar to the results calculated based on the POD mode of the Kármán vortex in previous study.51 Then, the stochastic part px,tn was extracted from p̂x,tn by Eq. (22) as shown in Fig. 10. Finally, the noise reduced pressure distribution was obtained by calculating the sum p¯x+p̃x,ϕtn+px,tn as shown in Fig. 11, and the pressure distributions were successfully reconstructed by the method. The twin vortices aligned just behind both ends of the square cylinder as shown at t6 in Fig. 11 were sometimes observed. In such a case, the similarity was small for any p̃Lx,ϕl and the amplitude of p̃Lx,ϕl was also small. This correlation between the similarity and amplitude was clearly observed as shown in Fig. 12. This indicates that the contribution of p̃Lx,ϕl is small for the phenomena that deviate from the periodic coherent motion.

As a data-driven approach, the pressure distribution can be reconstructed from the pressure data at the optimal sensor points estimated by the POD modes of p̂x,tn based on triple decomposition. The mean value p¯x, organized coherent motion p̃Lx,ϕl, and optimal sensor positions S were given/pre-calculated as a prior knowledge. The reconstruction of the pressure distribution was conducted by the following method. First, we calculated the cosine similarities between the pressure data at optimal sensor positions and p̃LSx,ϕl (l=1,2,,L) and selected p̃Lx,ϕlmax at the phase ϕlmax that gives the maximum similarity. Second, p̂x,tn was calculated using p¯x and p̃Lx,ϕlmax. Third, the SVD of p̂x,tn was calculated and the amplitudes of the POD modes were determined following Eq. (22) to extract px,tn using Eq. (19) from the noisy data of p̂x,tn. Finally, the pressure distributions were obtained by p¯x+p̃Lx,ϕlmax+px,tn.

The root mean square error (RMSE) between the pressure data measured by a pressure transducer through a pressure tap and the reconstructed data are shown in Fig. 13. The position of the pressure tap is shown in Fig. 13(a). For comparison, the RMSE results obtained by the method based on the previous study37,51 were also shown. The pressure distributions were reconstructed from the POD modes calculated from the observed data px,t, and the amplitudes of these POD modes were determined by LASSO at the optimal sensor positions that were determined by these POD modes in the previous method. That is, the difference between these methods is whether the sensor position is determined based on the POD modes of p̂x,tn. The horizontal axis in Fig. 13(b) represents the number of POD modes used to reconstruct the pressure distribution, and this was varied by varying λ in LASSO. The RMSE was calculated for 128 time steps, and the standard deviation of the number of modes used for each time step is shown in the figure. The results for the optimal sensor points of 25 and 60 are shown. The RMSE values were small for a small number of optimal sensor points and POD modes in the proposed method. This result indicates that triple decomposition enables a sparser representation.

We conducted the triple decomposition of noisy pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) data that are decomposed to the mean value, organized coherent motion, and stochastic part. We proposed a relatively simple method based on the multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plot of the cosine similarity to construct phase-averaged data representing an organized coherent motion for periodic flows. Since the constructed phase-averaged data are typically discrete with respect to the phase angle direction, we produced the data with a sufficient phase angle step size by interpolating the data between the phase angles. Then, the stochastic part can be extracted by selecting phase-averaged data with an appropriate phase angle based on the similarity between the measurement data and phase-averaged data. The noise of the stochastic part was suppressed by superposing the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) modes, whose amplitudes were determined by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) at optimal sensor positions. We used Fujitsu computing as a service digital annealer for the estimation of optimal sensor positions based on the POD modes of the stochastic part. In this manner, the triple decomposition of the noisy PSP data was performed. The application of PSP measurements is expected to expand further, and triple decomposition will be very useful.

The pressure distribution was successfully reconstructed from the pressures at the optimal sensor positions using the phase-averaged data and the POD modes of the stochastic part. The reconstructed pressures agreed well with those measured by a pressure transducer, even when the number of sensors was small compared with that in the previous study. As a result, a sparser representation was achieved using the triple decomposition.
