Sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics with low-dimensionalized flow representations

We perform a sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy) for low-dimensionalized complex flow phenomena. We first apply the SINDy with two regression methods, the thresholded least square algorithm (TLSA) and the adaptive Lasso (Alasso) which show reasonable ability with a wide range of sparsity constant in our preliminary tests, to a two-dimensional single cylinder wake at $Re_D=100$, its transient process, and a wake of two-parallel cylinders, as examples of high-dimensional fluid data. To handle these high dimensional data with SINDy whose library matrix is suitable for low-dimensional variable combinations, a convolutional neural network-based autoencoder (CNN-AE) is utilized. The CNN-AE is employed to map a high-dimensional dynamics into a low-dimensional latent space. The SINDy then seeks a governing equation of the mapped low-dimensional latent vector. Temporal evolution of high-dimensional dynamics can be provided by combining the predicted latent vector by SINDy with the CNN decoder which can remap the low-dimensional latent vector to the original dimension. The SINDy can provide a stable solution as the governing equation of the latent dynamics and the CNN-SINDy based modeling can reproduce high-dimensional flow fields successfully, although more terms are required to represent the transient flow and the two-parallel cylinder wake than the periodic shedding. A nine-equation turbulent shear flow model is finally considered to examine the applicability of SINDy to turbulence, although without using CNN-AE. The present results suggest that the proposed scheme with an appropriate parameter choice enables us to analyze high-dimensional nonlinear dynamics with interpretable low-dimensional manifolds.

Machine-learning-based reduced order modeling for unsteady flows around bluff bodies of various shapes

We propose a method to construct a reduced order model with machine learning for unsteady flows. The present machine-learned reduced order model (ML-ROM) is constructed by combining a convolutional neural network autoencoder (CNN-AE) and a long short-term memory (LSTM), which are trained in a sequential manner. First, the CNN-AE is trained using direct numerical simulation (DNS) data so as to map the high-dimensional flow data into low-dimensional latent space. Then, the LSTM is utilized to establish a temporal prediction system for the low-dimensionalized vectors obtained by CNN-AE. As a test case, we consider flows around a bluff body whose shape is defined using a combination of trigonometric functions with random amplitudes. The present ML-ROMs are trained on a set of 80 bluff body shapes and tested on a different set of 20 bluff body shapes not used for training, with both training and test shapes chosen from the same random distribution. The flow fields are confirmed to be well reproduced by the present ML-ROM in terms of various statistics. We also focus on the influence of two main parameters: (1) the latent vector size in the CNN-AE, and (2) the time step size between the mapped vectors used for the LSTM. The present results show that the ML-ROM works well even for unseen shapes of bluff bodies when these parameters are properly chosen, which implies great potential for the present type of ML-ROM to be applied to more complex flows

Nonlinear mode decomposition with convolutional neural networks for fluid dynamics

We present a new nonlinear mode decomposition method to visualize the decomposed flow fields, named the mode decomposing convolutional neural network autoencoder (MD-CNN-AE). The proposed method is applied to a flow around a circular cylinder at $Re_D=100$ as a test case. The flow attributes are mapped into two modes in the latent space and then these two modes are visualized in the physical space. Because the MD-CNN-AEs with nonlinear activation functions show lower reconstruction errors than the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), the nonlinearity contained in the activation function is considered the key to improve the capability of the model. It is found by applying POD to each field decomposed using the MD-CNN-AE with hyperbolic tangent activation that a single nonlinear MD-CNN-AE mode contains multiple orthogonal bases, in contrast to the linear methods, i.e., POD and the MD-CNN-AE with linear activation. We further assess the proposed MD-CNN-AE by applying it to a transient process of a circular cylinder wake in order to examine its capability for flows containing high-order spatial modes. The present results suggest a great potential for the nonlinear MD-CNN-AE to be used for feature extraction of flow fields in lower dimension than POD, while retaining interpretable relationships with the conventional POD modes.
