DeepTurb – Deep Learning in and of Turbulence

The application of machine learning (ML) techniques in the analysis of experimental measurements and numerical simulations of turbulence opens unique possibilities to analyse complex and comprehensive data sets by new physical criteria and thus to gather a deeper understanding of the fundamental transport processes in such flows. Our project aims at new effective modeling strategies of turbulent superstructures in extended turbulent convection flows – gradually evolving large-scale patterns – by means of machine learning techniques. We want to accelerate the analysis in optical flow measurements, develop low-dimensional reduced models that can predict the coarse-scale dynamics, and extend the mathematical foundations of ML applications to obtain a more efficient prediction of these processes.
