Data-driven augmentation of a RANS turbulence model for transonic flow prediction

Purpose: This paper aims to improve Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence models using a data-driven approach based on machine learning (ML). A special focus is put on determining the optimal input features used for the ML model. Design/methodology/approach: The field inversion and machine learning (FIML) approach is applied to...

A PDE-free, neural network-based eddy viscosity model coupled with RANS equations

In fluid dynamics, constitutive models are often used to describe the unresolved turbulence and to close the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations. Traditional PDE-based constitutive models are usually too rigid to calibrate with a large set of high-fidelity data. Moreover, commonly used turbulence models are based on the weak...
