  Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is a recently developed tool for the
analysis of the behavior of complex dynamical systems. In this paper, we will
propose an extension of DMD that exploits low-rank tensor decompositions of
potentially high-dimensional data sets to compute the corresponding DMD modes
and eigenvalues. The goal is to reduce the computational complexity and also
the amount of memory required to store the data in order to mitigate the curse
of dimensionality. The efficiency of these tensor-based methods will be
illustrated with the aid of several different fluid dynamics problems such as
the von K\'arm\'an vortex street and the simulation of two merging vortices.
