Current Trends in Fluid Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence: A Review

Abstract

Computational methods in fluid research have been progressing during the past few years, driven by the incorporation of massive amounts of data, either in textual or graphical form, generated from multi-scale simulations, laboratory experiments, and real data from the field. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its adjacent field, Machine Learning (ML), are about to reach standardization in most fields of computational science and engineering, as they provide multiple ways for extracting information from data that turn into knowledge, with the aid of portable software implementations that are easy to adopt. There is ample information on the historical and mathematical background of all aspects of AI/ML in the literature. Thus, this review article focuses mainly on their impact on fluid research at present, highlighting advances and opportunities, recognizing techniques and methods having been proposed, tabulating, and testing some of the most popular algorithms that have shown significant accuracy and performance on fluid applications. We also investigate algorithmic accuracy on several fluid datasets that correspond to simulation results for the transport properties of fluids and suggest that non-linear, decision tree-based methods have shown remarkable performance on reproducing fluid properties.

Drought Forecasting: A Review and Assessment of the Hybrid Techniques and Data Pre-Processing

“…Unsupervised learning is challenging since the system only has unlabeled data, yet it works independently to find the information [8]. Several machine learning algorithms are employed in prediction, such as artificial neural networks (ANNs) [53], adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) [39], support vector regression (SVR) [69], and random forest (RF) [61], gradient boosting (GB) [70], k-Nearest Neighbour (k-NN) [71], and decision tree (DT) [72].…”

Artificial Intelligence in Physical Sciences: Symbolic Regression Trends and Perspectives

“…Attention has to be drawn also on data representation, as it may vary from discrete (e.g., texts) to continuous (e.g., vectors and tensors) or weighted graphs [ 22 ]. Still, data availability is not enough; it is imperative to follow a common format [ 63 ] and, most of the times, a pre-processing step is required [ 23 ].…”

The need for adoption of neural HPC (NeuHPC) in space sciences

“…Given the utility of neural networks for extracting equations from data, there has been significant work, especially in the CFD domain, on their use for development of closure models (Kurz and Beck, 2022 and references therein). Here we refer the reader to several review articles on this topic (e.g., Taghizadeh et al, 2020;Sofos et al, 2022).…”
