Towards Active Flow Control Strategies Through Deep Reinforcement Learning
摘要
This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) framework for active flow control (AFC) to reduce drag in aerodynamic bodies. Tested on a 3D cylinder at \(Re=100\) , the DRL approach achieved a \(9.32\%\) drag reduction and a \(78.4\%\) decrease in lift oscillations by learning advanced actuation strategies. The methodology integrates a CFD solver with a DRL model using an in-memory database for efficient communication between the two instances, making it scalable to more complex flows and higher Reynolds numbers.
