An autoencoder is used to compress and then reconstruct three-dimensional stratified turbulence data in order to better understand fluid dynamics by studying the errors in the reconstruction. The original single data set is resolved on approximately $6.9times10^{10}$ grid points, and 15 fluid variables in three spatial dimensions are used, for a total of about $10^{12}$ input quantities in three dimensions. The objective is to understand which of the input variables contains the most relevant information about the local turbulence regimes in stably stratified turbulence (SST). This is accomplished by observing flow features that appear in one input variable but then `bleed over to multiple output variables. The bleed over is shown to be robust with respect to the number of layers in the autoencoder. In this proof of concept, the errors in the reconstruction include information about the spatial variation of vertical velocity in most of the components of the reconstructed rate-of-strain tensor and density gradient, which suggests that vertical velocity is an important marker for turbulence features of interest in SST. This result is consistent with what fluid dynamicists already understand about SST and, therefore, suggests an approach to understanding turbulence based on more detailed analyses of the reconstruction on errors in an autoencoding algorithm.

We apply supervised machine learning techniques to a number of regression problems in fluid dynamics. Four machine learning architectures are examined in terms of their characteristics, accuracy, computational cost, and robustness for canonical flow problems. We consider the estimation of force coefficients and wakes from a limited number of sensors on the surface for flows over a cylinder and NACA0012 airfoil with a Gurney flap. The influence of the temporal density of the training data is also examined. Furthermore, we consider the use of convolutional neural network in the context of super-resolution analysis of two-dimensional cylinder wake, two-dimensional decaying isotropic turbulence, and three-dimensional turbulent channel flow. In the concluding remarks, we summarize on findings from a range of regression type problems considered herein.
Numerical simulation of fluids plays an essential role in modeling many physical phenomena, such as weather, climate, aerodynamics and plasma physics. Fluids are well described by the Navier-Stokes equations, but solving these equations at scale rema ins daunting, limited by the computational cost of resolving the smallest spatiotemporal features. This leads to unfavorable trade-offs between accuracy and tractability. Here we use end-to-end deep learning to improve approximations inside computational fluid dynamics for modeling two-dimensional turbulent flows. For both direct numerical simulation of turbulence and large eddy simulation, our results are as accurate as baseline solvers with 8-10x finer resolution in each spatial dimension, resulting in 40-80x fold computational speedups. Our method remains stable during long simulations, and generalizes to forcing functions and Reynolds numbers outside of the flows where it is trained, in contrast to black box machine learning approaches. Our approach exemplifies how scientific computing can leverage machine learning and hardware accelerators to improve simulations without sacrificing accuracy or generalization.
We present a new turbulent data reconstruction method with supervised machine learning techniques inspired by super resolution and inbetweening, which can recover high-resolution turbulent flows from grossly coarse flow data in space and time. For th e present machine learning based data reconstruction, we use the downsampled skip-connection/multi-scale model based on a convolutional neural network to incorporate the multi-scale nature of fluid flows into its network structure. As an initial example, the model is applied to a two-dimensional cylinder wake at $Re_D$ = 100. The reconstructed flow fields by the proposed method show great agreement with the reference data obtained by direct numerical simulation. Next, we examine the capability of the proposed model for a two-dimensional decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The machine-learned models can follow the decaying evolution from coarse input data in space and time, according to the assessment with the turbulence statistics. The proposed concept is further investigated for a complex turbulent channel flow over a three-dimensional domain at $Re_{tau}$ =180. The present model can reconstruct high-resolved turbulent flows from very coarse input data in space, and it can also reproduce the temporal evolution when the time interval is appropriately chosen. The dependence on the amount of training snapshots and duration between the first and last frames based on a temporal two-point correlation coefficient are also assessed to reveal the capability and robustness of spatio-temporal super resolution reconstruction. These results suggest that the present method can meet a range of flow reconstructions for supporting computational and experimental efforts.
This article presents an original methodology for the prediction of steady turbulent aerodynamic fields. Due to the important computational cost of high-fidelity aerodynamic simulations, a surrogate model is employed to cope with the significant vari ations of several inflow conditions. Specifically, the Local Decomposition Method presented in this paper has been derived to capture nonlinear behaviors resulting from the presence of continuous and discontinuous signals. A combination of unsupervised and supervised learning algorithms is coupled with a physical criterion. It decomposes automatically the input parameter space, from a limited number of high-fidelity simulations, into subspaces. These latter correspond to different flow regimes. A measure of entropy identifies the subspace with the expected strongest non-linear behavior allowing to perform an active resampling on this low-dimensional structure. Local reduced-order models are built on each subspace using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition coupled with a multivariate interpolation tool. The methodology is assessed on the turbulent two-dimensional flow around the RAE2822 transonic airfoil. It exhibits a significant improvement in term of prediction accuracy for the Local Decomposition Method compared with the classical method of surrogate modeling for cases with different flow regimes.

This paper proposes a new data assimilation method for recovering high fidelity turbulent flow field around airfoil at high Reynolds numbers based on experimental data, which is called Proper Orthogonal Decomposition Inversion (POD-Inversion) data as similation method. Aiming at the flows including shock wave discontinuities or separated flows at high angle of attack, the proposed method can reconstruct high-fidelity turbulent flow field combining with experimental distributed force coefficients. We firstly perform the POD analysis to the turbulent eddy viscosity fields computed by SA model and obtain the base POD modes. Then optimized the POD coefficients by global optimization algorithm coupling with the Navier-Stokes equations solver. The high-fidelity turbulent flied are recovered by several main modes, which can dramatically reduce the dimensions of the system. The effectiveness of the method is verified by the cases of transonic flow around the RAE2822 airfoil at high Reynolds numbers and the separated flow at high angles of attack. The results demonstrate that the proposed assimilation method can recover the turbulent flow field which optimally match the experimental data, and significantly reduce the error of pressure coefficients. The proposed data assimilation method can offer high-fidelity field data for turbulent model based on machine learning.
