Flow physics and more broadly physical phenomena governed by partial differential equations (PDEs), are inherently continuous, high-dimensional and often chaotic in nature. Traditionally, researchers have explored these rich spatiotemporal…

The study of system complexity primarily has two objectives: to explore underlying patterns and to develop theoretical explanations. Pattern exploration seeks to clarify the mechanisms behind the emergence of system complexity, while…
