We present a coupled model describing growth of microalgae in a raceway cultivation process, accounting for hydrodynamics. Our approach combines a biological model (based on the Han model) and shallow water dynamics equations that model the fluid into the raceway. We then describe an optimization procedure dealing with the topography to maximize the biomass production over one cycle (one lap of the raceway). The results show that non-flat topographies enhance microalgal productivity.

This paper focuses on mixing strategies to enhance the growth of microalgae in a raceway pond. The flow is assumed to be laminar and the Han model describing the dynamics of the photosystems is used as a basis to determine growth rate as a function o f light history. A device controlling the mixing is assumed, which means that the order of the cells along the different layers can be rearranged at each new lap according to a permutation matrix P. The order of cell depth hence the light perceived is consequently modified on a cyclical basis. The dynamics of the photosystems are computed over K laps of the raceway with permutation P. It is proven that if a periodic regime is reached, it will be periodic immediately after the first lap, which enables to reduce significantly the computational cost when testing all the permutations. In view of optimizing the production, a functional corresponding to the average growth rate along depth and for one lap is introduced. A suboptimal but explicit solution is proposed and compared numerically to the optimal permutation and other strategies for different cases. Finally, the expected gains in growth rate are discussed.

We consider a coupled physical-biological model describing growth of microalgae in a raceway pond cultivation process, accounting for hydrodynamics. Our approach combines a biological model (based on the Han model) and shallow water dynamics equation s that model the fluid into the raceway pond. We present an optimization procedure dealing with the topography to maximize the biomass production over one lap or multiple laps with a paddle wheel. On the contrary to a widespread belief in the microalgae field, the results show that a flat topography is optimal in a periodic regime. In other frameworks, non-trivial topographies can be obtained. We present some of them, e.g., when a mixing device is included in the model.
This paper focuses on mixing strategies and designing shape of the bottom topographies to enhance the growth of the microalgae in raceway ponds. A physical-biological coupled model is used to describe the growth of the algae. A simple model of a mixi ng device such as a paddle wheel is also considered. The complete process model was then included in an optimization problem associated with the maximization of the biomass production. The results show that non-trivial topographies can be coupled with some specific mixing strategies to improve the microalgal productivity.
We develop an adjoint approach for recovering the topographical function included in the source term of one-dimensional hyperbolic balance laws. We focus on a specific system, namely the shallow water equations, in an effort to recover the riverbed t opography. The novelty of this work is the ability to robustly recover the bottom topography using only noisy boundary data from one measurement event and the inclusion of two regularization terms in the iterative update scheme. The adjoint scheme is determined from a linearization of the forward system and is used to compute the gradient of a cost function. The bottom topography function is recovered through an iterative process given by a three-operator splitting method which allows the feasibility to include two regularization terms. Numerous numerical tests demonstrate the robustness of the method regardless of the choice of initial guess and in the presence of discontinuities in the solution of the forward problem.
Learning to optimize (L2O) is an emerging approach that leverages machine learning to develop optimization methods, aiming at reducing the laborious iterations of hand engineering. It automates the design of an optimization method based on its perfor mance on a set of training problems. This data-driven procedure generates methods that can efficiently solve problems similar to those in the training. In sharp contrast, the typical and traditional designs of optimization methods are theory-driven, so they obtain performance guarantees over the classes of problems specified by the theory. The difference makes L2O suitable for repeatedly solving a certain type of optimization problems over a specific distribution of data, while it typically fails on out-of-distribution problems. The practicality of L2O depends on the type of target optimization, the chosen architecture of the method to learn, and the training procedure. This new paradigm has motivated a community of researchers to explore L2O and report their findings. This article is poised to be the first comprehensive survey and benchmark of L2O for continuous optimization. We set up taxonomies, categorize existing works and research directions, present insights, and identify open challenges. We also benchmarked many existing L2O approaches on a few but representative optimization problems. For reproducible research and fair benchmarking purposes, we released our software implementation and data in the package Open-L2O at https://github.com/VITA-Group/Open-L2O.
