Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, artificial intelligence plays a vital role in learning and extracting patterns from complex data. Despite their immense success in other disciplines, machine leraning tecniques are just beginning to be applied in the field of fluid dynamics. Such data analytics and statistical tools have been utilized, for example, for the physical model inference, subgrid scale closure modeling, model reduction, and fast emulators for data assimilation, paramater estimation, uncertainlty quantification, control and optimization. However, most of the approaches so far are black boxes and their generalizability, interpretibility, robustness and numerical analysis remain an open challange. Therefore, we invite you to submit your contribution in all aspects of data-driven/scientific/statistical learning to this special issue.

Topics in this call include, but are not limited to: new learning algorithms, parallel computing implementations, numerical analysis, parameterizations and turbulence modeling, reduced order modeling, intrusive and non-intrusive model development, near real time predictions, digital twins, and hybrid frameworks between physics-based and data-driven approaches as well as their implementations to the problems ariasing in canonical or realistic fluid dynamics applications.

In this paper, we put forth an evolve-then-correct reduced order modeling approach that combines intrusive and nonintrusive models to take hidden physical processes into account. Specifically, we split the underlying dynamics into known and unknown components. In the known part, we first utilize an intrusive Galerkin method projected on a set of basis functions obtained by proper orthogonal decomposition. We then present two variants of correction formula based on the assumption that the observed data are a manifestation of all relevant processes. The first method uses a standard least-squares regression with a quadratic approximation and requires solving a rank-deficient linear system, while the second approach employs a recurrent neural network emulator to account for the correction term. We further enhance our approach by using an orthonormality conforming basis interpolation approach on a Grassmannian manifold to address off-design conditions. The proposed framework is illustrated here with the application of two-dimensional co-rotating vortex simulations under modeling uncertainty. The results demonstrate highly accurate predictions underlining the effectiveness of the evolve-then-correct approach toward real-time simulations, where the full process model is not known a priori.

In this effort we propose a data-driven learning framework for reduced order modeling of fluid dynamics. Designing accurate and efficient reduced order models for nonlinear fluid dynamic problems is challenging for many practical engineering applications. Classical projection-based model reduction methods generate reduced systems by projecting full-order differential operators into low-dimensional subspaces. However, these techniques usually lead to severe instabilities in the presence of highly nonlinear dynamics, which dramatically deteriorates the accuracy of the reduced-order models. In contrast, our new framework exploits linear multistep networks, based on implicit Adams–Moulton schemes, to construct the reduced system. The advantage is that the method optimally approximates the full order model in the low-dimensional space with a given supervised learning task. Moreover, our approach is non-intrusive, such that it can be applied to other complex nonlinear dynamical systems with sophisticated legacy codes. We demonstrate the performance of our method through the numerical simulation of a two-dimensional flow past a circular cylinder with Reynolds number Re = 100. The results reveal that the new data-driven model is significantly more accurate than standard projection-based approaches. Full article
