We propose a self-supervised cluster-based hierarchical reduced-order modelling methodology to model and analyse the complex dynamics arising from a sequence of bifurcations for a two-dimensional incompressible flow of the fluidic pinball. The hierarchy is guided by a triple decomposition separating a slowly varying base flow, dominant shedding and...

We address a challenge of active flow control: the optimization of many actuation parameters guaranteeing fast convergence and avoiding suboptimal local minima. This challenge is addressed by a new optimizer, called the explorative gradient method (EGM). EGM alternatively performs one exploitive downhill simplex step and an explorative Latin hyperc...

We stabilize the flow past a cluster of three rotating cylinders-the fluidic pinball-with automated gradient-enriched machine learning algorithms. The control laws command the rotation speed of each cylinder in an open-and closed-loop manner. These laws are optimized with respect to the average distance from the target steady solution in three succ...

The fluidic pinball is a geometrically simple flow configuration with three rotating cylinders on the vertex of an equilateral triangle. Yet, it remains physically rich enough to host a range of interacting frequencies and to allow testing of control laws within minutes on a laptop. The system has multiple inputs (the three cylinders can independen...

The fluidic pinball has been recently proposed as an attractive and effective flow configuration for exploring machine learning fluid flow control. In this contribution, we focus on the route to chaos in this system without actuation, as the Reynolds number is smoothly increased. It was found to be of the Newhouse-Ruelle-Takens kind, with a seconda...

We propose an automatable data-driven methodology for robust nonlinear reduced-order modelling from time-resolved snapshot data. In the kinematical coarse-graining, the snapshots are clustered into a few centroids representing the whole ensemble. The dynamics is conceptualized as a directed network, where the centroids represent nodes and the direc...

We propose an aerodynamic force model associated with a Galerkin model for the unforced fluidic pinball, the two-dimensional flow around three equal cylinders with one radius distance to each other. The starting point is a Galerkin model of a bluff-body flow. The force on this body is derived as a constant-linear-quadratic function of the mode ampl...

Article
Full-text available
The aim of our work is to advance a self‐learning, model‐free control method to tame complex nonlinear flows—building on the pioneering work of Dracopoulous [1]. The cornerstone is the formulation of the control problem as a function optimization problem. The control law is derived by solving a nonsmooth optimization problem thanks to an artificial...

We present the first general metric for attractor overlap (MAO) facilitating an unsupervised comparison of flow data sets. The starting point is two or more attractors, i.e. ensembles of states representing different operating conditions. The proposed metric generalizes the standard Hilbert-space distance between two snapshot-to-snapshot ensembles...

Reduced-order representations of an ensemble of cylinder wake transients are investigated. Locally linear embedding identifies a two-dimensional manifold with a maximum error of 1% from new snapshot data. This representation outperforms a 50-dimensional POD expansion from the same data and is not obtainable with cluster-based coarse graining of sim...

We advance the computation of physical modal expansions for unsteady incompressible flows. Point of departure is a linearization of the Navier–Stokes equations around its fixed point in a frequency domain formulation.

We propose the first least-order Galerkin model of an incompressible flow undergoing two successive supercritical bifurcations of Hopf and pitchfork type. A key enabler is a mean-field consideration exploiting the symmetry of the base flow and the asymmetry of the fluctuation. These symmetries generalize mean-field theory, e.g. no assumption of slo...

We present the first application of a Smith predictor in the model-based feedback control of a convectively unstable flow. The two-dimensional incompressible mixing layer is chosen as a plant and integrated with a finite-element Navier-Stokes solver. The flow is actuated by a modulation of the inflow mimicking a pulsed jet actuator. The state is mo...

The ability to manipulate and control fluid flows is of great importance in many scientific and engineering applications. The proposed closed-loop control framework addresses a key issue of model-based control: The actuation effect often results from slow dynamics of strongly nonlinear interactions which the flow reveals at timescales much longer t...

Physical flow modes are of particular interest for Reduced Order Flow Control-Oriented Models. Computation of physical modes as the eigensolution of linearized Navier-Stokes equations is a cumbersome and difficult task, especially for large, 3D problems. Instead we propose the solution of Navier-Stokes equation in the frequency domain and investiga...

We propose a general framework for parameter-free identification of a class of dynamical systems. Here, the propagator is approximated in terms of an arbitrary function of the state, in contrast to a polynomial or Galerkin expansion used in traditional approaches. The proposed formulation relies on variational data assimilation using measurement da...

Low order Galerkin models were originally introduced as an effective tool for stability analysis of fixed points and, later, of attractors, in nonlinear distributed systems. An evolving interest in their use as low complexity dynamical models, goes well beyond that original intent. It exposes often severe weaknesses of low order Galerkin models as...

Low-dimensional models, allowing quick prediction of fluid behaviour, are key enablers of closed-loop flow control. Reduction of the model's dimension and inconsistency of high-fidelity data set and the reduced-order formulation lead to the decrease of accuracy. The quality of Reduced-Order Models might be improved by a calibration procedure. It le...

We review a strategy for low- and least-order Galerkin models suitable for the design of closed-loop stabilization of wakes. These low-order models are based on a fixed set of dominant coherent structures and tend to be incurably fragile owing to two challenges. Firstly, they miss the important stabilizing effects of interactions with the base flow...

The natural and periodically forced flow around a two-dimensional bluff body with a blunt rear end are numerically investigated using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) calculation.
