  In this paper we apply a reduced basis framework for the computation of flow
bifurcation (and stability) problems in fluid dynamics. The proposed method
aims at reducing the complexity and the computational time required for the
construction of bifurcation and stability diagrams. The method is quite general
since it can in principle be specialized to a wide class of nonlinear problems,
but in this work we focus on an application in incompressible fluid dynamics at
low Reynolds numbers. The validation of the reduced order model with the full
order computation for a benchmark cavity flow problem is promising.
