报告摘要

        We present a numerical study to train smart inertial particles to target specic ow regions with high vorticity through the use of Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms (S. Colabrese, K. Gustavsson, A. Celani, and L. Biferale. arXive:1711.05853). The particles are able to actively change their size to modify their inertia and density. Using local measurements of the ow vorticity, the smart particle explores the interplay between its choices of size and its dynamical behaviour in the ow environment. This allows to accumulate experience and learn approximately optimal strategies of how to modulate the size in order to reach the target with high-vorticity regions. We consider ows with dierent complexities: a two-dimensional stationary Taylor-Green like conguration, a two-dimensional time-dependent ow, and finally a three-dimensional ow given by the stationary Arnold-Beltrami-Childress helical ow. We show that smart particles are able to learn how to reach extremely intense vortical structures in all the tackled cases. This study completes a series of previous explorative applications of RL for flow navigation [K. Gustavsson, L. Biferale, A.
