Optimization of Tollmien-Schlichting waves control: comparison between a deep reinforcement learning and particle swarm optimization approach

This work focuses on the suppression of Tollmien-Schlichting (TS) waves in a two-dimensional laminar boundary layer using optimized unsteady suction and blowing jets as an Active Flow Control (AFC) method. The suppression of TS waves via this AFC system is enabled through two artificial intelligence-based optimization methodologies: Single-Step...

Passive and active flow control effects in the platoon and overtaking maneuvers

The current numerical study is dedicated to investigating the effect of passive, active, and combined flow control techniques on the performance of the vehicles in different maneuvers including, platoon and overtaking on critical highway velocity (70 miles per hour) for a reference bluff body vehicle called Ahmed body. The target passive flow...
