Improving the Robustness of Control of Chaotic Convective Flows with Domain-Informed Reinforcement Learning

Michiel Straat, Thorben Markmann, Sebastian Peitz +1

Chaotic convective flows arise in many real-world systems, such as microfluidic devices and chemical reactors. Stabilizing these flows is highly desirable but remains challenging,…

Control of Rayleigh-Bénard Convection: Effectiveness of Reinforcement Learning in the Turbulent Regime

Thorben Markmann, Michiel Straat, Sebastian Peitz +1

Data-driven flow control has significant potential for industry, energy systems, and climate science. In this work, we study the effectiveness of Reinforcement Learning (RL) for re…

Solving Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection using Fourier Neural Operators

Michiel Straat, Thorben Markmann, Barbara Hammer

We train Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) surrogate models for Rayleigh-Bénard Convection (RBC), a model for convection processes that occur in nature and industrial settings. We comp…

Adaptive Kinematic Modeling for Improved Hand Posture Estimates Using a Haptic Glove

Kathrin Krieger, David P. Leins, Thorben Markmann +4

Most commercially available haptic gloves compromise the accuracy of hand-posture measurements in favor of a simpler design with fewer sensors. While inaccurate posture data is oft…

Koopman-Based Surrogate Modelling of Turbulent Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

Thorben Markmann, Michiel Straat, Barbara Hammer

Several related works have introduced Koopman-based Machine Learning architectures as a surrogate model for dynamical systems. These architectures aim to learn non-linear measureme…
