The capability of recurrent neural networks to predict turbulence flow via spatiotemporal features

This study presents a deep learning (DL) neural network hybrid data-driven method that is able to predict turbulence flow velocity field. Recently many studies have reported the application of recurrent neural network (RNN) methods, particularly the Long short-term memory (LSTM) for sequential data. The airflow around the objects and wind speed are the most presented with different hybrid architecture. In some of them, the data series is used with the known equation, and the data is firstly generated. Data series extracted from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) have been used in many cases. This work aimed to determine a method with raw data that could be measured with devices in the airflow, wind tunnel, water flow in the river, wind speed and industry application to process in the DL model and predict the next time steps. This method suggests spatialtemporal data in time series, which matches the Lagrangian framework in fluid dynamics. Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), the next generation of LSTM, has been employed to create a DL model and forecasting. Time series data source is from turbulence flow has been generated in a laboratory and extracted via 2D Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT). This data has been used for the training model and to validate the prediction in the suggested approach. The achievement via this method dictates a significant result and could be developed.This work was performed in the Center of Excellence (CoE) Research on AI and Simulation Based Engineering at Exascale (RAISE) and the EuroCC projects receiving funding from EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Framework Programme under the grant agreement no.951733 and no. 951740 respectively.Peer Reviewe
