Exact coherent states underlying chaotic falling-film dynamics

Isaac J. G. Lewis, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores

Dynamical-systems approaches to spatiotemporal chaos have been developed primarily for single-phase flows, where the system state is defined by bulk velocity fields. Extending thes…

Stabilizing Rayleigh-Benard convection with reinforcement learning trained on a reduced-order model

Qiwei Chen, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores

Rayleigh-Benard convection (RBC) is a canonical system for buoyancy-driven turbulence and heat transport, central to geophysical and industrial flows. Developing efficient control…

Data-driven modeling of a settling sphere in a quiescent medium

Haoyu Wang, Isaac J. G. Lewis, Soohyeon Kang +3

We develop data-driven models to predict the dynamics of a freely settling sphere in a quiescent Newtonian fluid using experimentally obtained trajectories. Particle tracking veloc…

Low-dimensional multiscale dynamics of intermittent reversals in turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection

Qiwei Chen, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores

We investigate whether a strongly turbulent flow with intermittent large-scale reorganizations admits a compact state-space description. As a representative high-dimensional chaoti…

On the relationship between Koopman operator approximations and neural ordinary differential equations for data-driven time-evolution predictions

Jake Buzhardt, C. Ricardo Constante-Amores, Michael D. Graham

This work explores the relationship between state space methods and Koopman operator-based methods for predicting the time-evolution of nonlinear dynamical systems. We demonstrate…

Data-driven prediction of large-scale spatiotemporal chaos with distributed low-dimensional models

C. Ricardo Constante-Amores, Alec J. Linot, Michael D. Graham

Complex chaotic dynamics, seen in natural and industrial systems like turbulent flows and weather patterns, often span vast spatial domains with interactions across scales. Accurat…
