INOUT_FLOW2 is a set of velocity solutions to a time-dependent incompressible parameterized flow problem in in a cell with inflow and outflow.
The "INOUT" region is contained in the unit square, [0,1] x [0,1]. There is an inlet on the left side, from [0,0] to [0,0.2], and an outlet on the right side, from [1,0.8] to [1.0,1.0].

There are 3,721 nodes in a 61 by 61 evenly spaced grid. The nodes
are organized into 1800 6-node triangular elements
which are quadratic in velocity and linear in pressure.
The time-dependent incompressible 2D Navier-Stokes equations are to be applied in the region. No-slip and no-penetration conditions are applied along the walls. The inlet on the lower left is open, and parabolic velocity inflow is specified, whose strength is controlled by a parameter alpha. At the outlet on the upper right, the flow is specified to have zero vertical component, and zero horizontal derivative. The dynamic viscosity is taken to be nu=1/300.
The steady state solution is computed for the particular value alpha=1/3. Using the steady state solution as initial condition, the time-dependent problem is solved over the interval 0<=t<=40, using 4,000 timesteps of size dt=0.01. Only every 5th timestep is saved as a "snapshot". The parameter alpha is set to 5/3 for timesteps 1 through 400, and then alpha = 1/3 for timesteps 401 through 800. The two instantaneous changes to alpha induce violent transient behaviors.
The goal is to extract typical modes of behavior of the solution. Such a set of modes may then be used as a finite element basis that is highly tuned to the physics of the problem, so that a very small set of basis functions can be used to closely approximate the behavior of the solution over a range of values of alpha.
