• Abstract: In this paper, we train turbulence models based on convolutional neural networks. These learned turbulence models improve under-resolved low resolution solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations at simulation time. Our method involves the development of a differentiable numerical solver that supports the propagation of optimisation gradients through multiple solver steps. We showcase the significance of this property by demonstrating the superior stability and accuracy of those models that featured a higher number of unrolled steps during training. This approach is applied to three two-dimensional turbulence flow scenarios, a homogeneous decaying turbulence case, a temporally evolving mixing layer and a spatially evolving mixing layer. Our method achieves significant improvements of long-term \textit{a-posteriori} statistics when compared to no-model simulations, without requiring these statistics to be directly included in the learning targets. At inference time, our proposed method also gains substantial performance improvements over similarly accurate, purely numerical methods.

It is found that the gradient-based subset selection to minimize the total derivative loss results in improved consistency-over-trials. For the reduced turbulent Prandtl number model, the gradient-based subset selection improves the prediction in the validation case over the other methods.

  Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) optical flow models use finite-step recurrent update operations to emulate traditional algorithms. These RNNs impose large computation and memory overheads, and are not directly trained to model such stable estimation. We propose deep equilibrium (DEQ) flow estimators, an approach that directly solves for the flow as the infinite-level fixed point of an implicit layer.
