Learning turbulent transport via Mori--Zwanzig graph neural networks

André Freitas, Xander M. de Wit, Alessandro Gabbana +4

We introduce a Mori--Zwanzig graph neural network (MZ--GNN) framework for learning reduced-order Lagrangian dynamics of tracer particles in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. The mo…

On the importance of stochasticity in closures of turbulence

André Freitas, Luca Biferale, Mathieu Desbrun +3

Deterministic closures for coarse-grained turbulence models help reproduce mean statistics, but often fail to capture the finite-time growth of uncertainty. Using the framework of…

A posteriori closure of turbulence models: are symmetries preserved?

André Freitas, Kiwon Um, Mathieu Desbrun +2

Turbulence modeling remains a longstanding challenge in fluid dynamics. Recent advances in data-driven methods have led to a surge of novel approaches aimed at addressing this prob…

Dynamics of small bubbles in turbulence in non-dilute conditions

Xander M. de Wit, Hessel J. Adelerhof, André Freitas +3

Turbulent flows laden with small bubbles are ubiquitous in many natural and industrial environments. From the point of view of numerical modeling, to be able to handle a very large…

Intermittency suppression in turbulence via forced light particles

André Freitas, Xander M. de Wit, Ziqi Wang +2

We investigate how turbulence is reshaped by the presence of externally forced light particles, using high-resolution direct numerical simulations with four-way coupling. The parti…

Solver-in-the-loop approach to closure of shell models of turbulence

André Freitas, Kiwon Um, Mathieu Desbrun +2

This work studies an a posteriori data-driven approach (known as solver-in-the-loop) for sub-grid modeling of a shell model for turbulence. This approach takes advantage of the dif…
