@@ -4,13 +4,23 @@ A unit-diameter cylinder is centered at (0,0) in a box on [-2.5,17] x [-5,5].
 With unit inflow velocity at x=-2.5, the Reynolds number is given by Re =
 1/viscosity
 
-For the current case, we have Re=100.  The drag and lift coefficients are also
-computed by calls in userchk. To see the drag vs. time:
-
-grep drag logfile
+Run (with NekROM/bin and Nek5000/bin in $PATH and $MOR_DIR set to NekROM) `./run_fom` to generate the FOM fields and drag/lift data.
 
 ## ROM: Flow past a cylinder in 2D
 
+To obtain the ROM solution, run 
+
+```
+mkdir snaps && cp cyl0.f* snaps && ls snaps/*0.f* > file.list
+makerom cyl_rom
+nekbmpi cyl 1
+```
+
+```
+grep dragx logfile | sed 's/dragx//g' > rom.dragx.dat
+grep dragy logfile | sed 's/dragy//g' > rom.dragy.dat
+```
+
 The usr file for the ROM, cyl_rom.usr, mimics the FOM user file. In particular the rom_userchk subroutine is only a slight modification of the FOM userchk subroutine to accomodate variable name conflicts.
