Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

AI methods continuously penetrate into various fields of research and industry. Huge amounts of data in fluid mechanics research are nowadays produced by simulations or experiments. They provide the opportunity to train novel AI technologies resulting in predictive models competing with conventional physical and numerical models. In a rapidly evolving supercomputing context, the AI training process relies more and more on HPC to produce and process data and thus poses implementation and performance challenges.

This Special Issue will present cutting-edge work on novel AI technologies that advance our understanding of fluid mechanics problems. Manuscripts developing AI models, dealing with training on computational or experimental fluid mechanics data, making use of HPC systems in this context, and employing the final models, e.g., in inferencing at simulation runtime to model unresolved small-scale phenomena or in experiments in processing and mining data, are welcome. This includes coupling methods employing state-of-the-art computing hardware to bring traditional fluid mechanics workflows and AI workflows together.

Topics of interest for this Special Issues include, but are not limited to, the following: CFD, multi-physics simulations, experimental fluid mechanics, machine learning, physics-informed neural networks, deep learning, and AI-based subgrid-scale or surrogate modeling. Manuscripts describing original theoretical and applied research are welcome for submission.

This study introduces a deep learning surrogate model designed to predict the evolution of the mean pressure coefficient on the back face of a Windsor body across a range of yaw angles from 2.5 to 10. Utilizing a variational autoencoder (VAE), the model effectively compresses snapshots of back pressure taken at yaw angles of 2.5, 5, and 10 into two latent vectors. These snapshots are derived from wall-modeled large eddy simulations (WMLESs) conducted at a Reynolds number of ReL=2.9×106. The frequencies that dominate the latent vectors correspond closely with those observed in both the drag’s temporal evolution and the dynamic mode decomposition. The projection of the mean pressure coefficient to the latent space yields an increasing linear evolution of the two latent variables with the yaw angle. The mean pressure coefficient distribution at a yaw angle of 7.5 is predicted with a mean error of e¯=3.13% when compared to the WMLESs results after obtaining the values of the latent space with linear interpolation.
