Machine Learning 2024-11-11 v1 Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for active flow control (AFC) to reduce drag in aerodynamic bodies. Tested on a 3D cylinder at Re = 100, the DRL approach achieved a 9.32% drag reduction and a 78.4% decrease in lift oscillations by learning advanced actuation strategies. The methodology integrates a CFD solver with a DRL model using an in-memory database for efficient communication between
