This lecture was funded previously by the foundation for innovation in higher education.

Machine learning in computational fluid dynamics

This repository contains resources accompanying the lecture machine learning in fluid dynamics provided by the Institute of Fluid Mechanics at TU Dresden. Note that slides, notebooks, and other resources will be regularly updated throughout the term.

Lectures

If equations in the lecture notebooks do not get rendered properly on Github, download the notebook and open it using jupyter-lab (refer to the first exercise session for an overview of dependencies and installation instructions).

# topic slides notebook
1 Course overview and motivation link view
2 Finite-volume-based simulations in a nutshell link view
3 Introduction to machine learning link view
4 Surrogate modeling for discrete predictions link view
5 Surrogate modeling for continuous predictions link view
6 Analyzing coherent structures link view
7 Reduced-order modeling of flow fields link view
8 Optimal open-loop control link view
9 Closed-loop control using DRL link view

Exercises

Prerequisites

The exercises are designed for native Linux operating systems like Ubuntu (recommended). They may also work on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). To set up your system for the exercises, refer to the notebook accompanying exercise session 1.

Exercise sessions

# topic notebook
0 Course-specific Python refresher view
1 Setting up your system view
2 End-to-end simulations in OpenFOAM and Basilisk view
3 End-to-end machine learning project in PyTorch view
4 Building a robust path regime classification model view
5 Computing highly accurate mass transfer at rising bubbles view
6 Analyzing coherent structures with POD and DMD view
7 Creating a reduced-order model using CNM view
8 Optimal open-loop control of the flow past a cylinder view

Datasets

Both exercises and lectures sometimes require datasets. Usually, there are instructions how to create or extract the data yourself. For convenience, a downloadable snapshot of the latest data (20. Dec 2021) is provided, too.

Getting and providing help and feedback

If you

  • get stuck solving an exercise problem
  • have technical issues
  • have theoretical questions about math or programming
  • think that some instructions or explanations need improvement
  • want to report typos or logical errors
  • want to provide feedback and suggestions about the course

the easiest way to get in touch is to open a new issue in this repository. Before opening a new issue, please use the search function to see if a related issue was reported previously.

If you are a student at TU Dresden enrolled in the course Machine Learning in Fluid Dynamics, you may also get in touch via the OPAL platform or via mail.
