Smart strategies to navigate turbulent odor plumes reorienting to local wind

Lorenzo Piro, Maurizio Carbone, Luca Biferale +4

Olfactory search in turbulent environments is a sensorimotor problem that many animals solve with remarkable efficiency, yet replicating this ability in artificial systems is an en…

TURB-Smoke. A database of Lagrangian pollutants emitted from point-sources and dispersed in turbulent flows

Luca Biferale, Fabio Bonaccorso, Niccolò Cocciaglia +2

Identifying the location and characteristics of pollution sources in turbulent flows is challenging, especially for environmental monitoring and emergency response, due to sparse,…

Policy heterogeneity improves collective olfactory search in 3-D turbulence

Lorenzo Piro, Robin A. Heinonen, Maurizio Carbone +2

We investigate the role of policy heterogeneity in enhancing the olfactory search capabilities of cooperative agent swarms operating in complex, real-world turbulent environments.…

Many wrong models approach to localize an odor source in turbulence with static sensors

Lorenzo Piro, Robin A. Heinonen, Massimo Cencini +1

The problem of locating an odor source in turbulent flows is central to key applications such as environmental monitoring and disaster response. We address this challenge by design…

Optimal trajectories for Bayesian olfactory search in turbulent flows: the low information limit and beyond

Robin A. Heinonen, Luca Biferale, Antonio Celani +1

In turbulent flows, tracking the source of a passive scalar cue requires exploiting the limited information that can be gleaned from rare, stochastic encounters with the cue. When…

Exploring Bayesian olfactory search in realistic turbulent flows

Robin A. Heinonen, Luca Biferale, Antonio Celani +1

The problem of tracking the source of a passive scalar in a turbulent flow is relevant to flying insect behavior and several other applications. Extensive previous work has shown t…
