💧Machine Learning for Fluid Mechanics: Analysis, Modeling, Control and Closures

This is the second lecture series dedicated to machine learning for fluid mechanics. The course is hosted by the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) from 29 January to 02 February 2024.

The lecture series is co-organized by Miguel A. Mendez from the von Karman Institute (Belgium), Alessandro Parente from the Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), Andrea Ianiro from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (Spain), Bernd R. Noack from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen (China) and TU Berlin (Germany) and Steven L. Brunton from University of Washington (US).

🧠 4 Applications for AI in Validation Test

Artificial Intelligence (AI) predictive capabilities are changing how engineers test complex systems' intractable physics. For complex systems, traditional physics-based simulations often fail to predict design performance across a wide range of input conditions and design parameters.

Based on hundreds of AI projects in engineering product development, we’ve identified the four use cases in validation test specifically where AI delivers the most significant impact.

Moreover, we’ll show how you can reduce your validation testing by up to 73% based on battery test research done by teams at Stanford, MIT, and Toyota Research Institute.

📚Book of the Week

Turbulence: The Legacy of A. N. Kolmogorov

This textbook presents a modern account of turbulence, one of the greatest challenges in physics. The state-of-the-art is put into historical perspective five centuries after the first studies of Leonardo and half a century after the first attempt by A. N. Kolmogorov to predict the properties of flow at very high Reynolds numbers. Such 'fully developed turbulence' is ubiquitous in both cosmical and natural environments, in engineering applications and in everyday life.

The intended readership for the book ranges from first-year graduate students in mathematics, physics, astrophysics, geosciences and engineering, to professional scientists and engineers. Elementary presentations of dynamical systems ideas, of probabilistic methods (including the theory of large deviations) and of fractal geometry make this a self-contained textbook.
