Entropy-driven model reduction for fluid flows

Turbulent fluid flows play a critical role in science and engineering in energy, process design, climate and life sciences. Accurate and efficient computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tools are therefore essential. As resolving all turbulent scales of motion is computationally infeasible, every CFD code requires a closure model to represent the effect of unresolved scales. A recent paradigm shift is to construct closure models by combining physics- and data-driven methods. However, these lack the cornerstones of mathematical-physical modelling of fluid flows: stability, physical consistency and accuracy guarantees. In SYMBIOSIS I develop a radically novel approach to construct…
