现代机器学习通常依赖大量数据,但湍流的每张快照蕴含的信息量远超一般机器学习场景的数据文件。本研究探讨非线性机器学习能否仅从单一湍流快照中有效提取物理信息。以基于机器学习的超分辨率分析为例,针对二维各向同性湍流和三维湍流通道流,我们发现:通过精心设计的模型,仅使用单张快照采样的流动块即可重建跨雷诺数的二维衰减湍流中的涡旋结构。成功重建表明,非线性机器学习可利用湍流的尺度不变性。此外,通过旋转与剪切张量特征巧妙收集训练数据,实现了对非均匀三维通道流的单快照超分辨率分析。结果表明,将先验知识融入模型设计与数据采集对数据驱动的湍流分析至关重要。本工作呼吁机器学习从业者避免浪费湍流数据。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modern machine-learning techniques are generally considered data-hungry. However, this may not be the case for turbulence as each of its snapshots can hold more information than a single data file in general machine-learning settings. This study asks the question of whether nonlinear machine-learning techniques can effectively extract physical insights even from as little as a {\it single} snapshot of turbulent flow. As an example, we consider machine-learning-based super-resolution analysis that reconstructs a high-resolution field from low-resolution data for two examples of two-dimensional isotropic turbulence and three-dimensional turbulent channel flow. First, we reveal that a carefully designed machine-learning model trained with flow tiles sampled from only a single snapshot can reconstruct vortical structures across a range of Reynolds numbers for two-dimensional decaying turbulence. Successful flow reconstruction indicates that nonlinear machine-learning techniques can leverage scale-invariance properties to learn turbulent flows. We also show that training data of turbulent flows can be cleverly collected from a single snapshot by considering characteristics of rotation and shear tensors. Second, we perform the single-snapshot super-resolution analysis for turbulent channel flow, showing that it is possible to extract physical insights from a single flow snapshot even with inhomogeneity. The present findings suggest that embedding prior knowledge in designing a model and collecting data is important for a range of data-driven analyses for turbulent flows. More broadly, this work hopes to stop machine-learning practitioners from being wasteful with turbulent flow data.
