In this article, we propose a two-grid based adaptive proper orthogonal decomposition(POD) algorithm to solve the time dependent partial differential equations. Based on the error obtained in the coarse grid, we propose an error indicator for the numerical solution obtained in the fine grid. Our new algorithm is cheap and easy to implement. We implement our new method to the solution of time-dependent advection-diffusion equations with Kolmogorov flow and ABC flow. The numerical results show that our method is more efficient than the existing POD algorithms.
