• Abstract summary: The convective heat transfer in a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) on a flat plate is enhanced using an artificial intelligence approach. The actuator is a set of six slot jets in crossflow aligned with the freestream. The control laws are optimised with respect to the unperturbed TBL and to the actuation with a steady jet.

• Abstract: The convective heat transfer in a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) on a flat plate is enhanced using an artificial intelligence approach based on linear genetic algorithms control (LGAC). The actuator is a set of six slot jets in crossflow aligned with the freestream. An open-loop optimal periodic forcing is defined by the carrier frequency, the duty cycle and the phase difference between actuators as control parameters. The control laws are optimised with respect to the unperturbed TBL and to the actuation with a steady jet. The cost function includes the wall convective heat transfer rate and the cost of the actuation. The performance of the controller is assessed by infrared thermography and characterised also with particle image velocimetry measurements. The optimal controller yields a slightly asymmetric flow field. The LGAC algorithm converges to the same frequency and duty cycle for all the actuators. It is noted that such frequency is strikingly equal to the inverse of the characteristic travel time of large-scale turbulent structures advected within the near-wall region. The phase difference between multiple jet actuation has shown to be very relevant and the main driver of flow asymmetry. The results pinpoint the potential of machine learning control in unravelling unexplored controllers within the actuation space. Our study furthermore demonstrates the viability of employing sophisticated measurement techniques together with advanced algorithms in an experimental investigation.

  Multi-generator Wave Energy Converters (WEC) must handle multiple simultaneous waves coming from different directions called spread waves. These complex devices need controllers with multiple objectives of energy capture efficiency, reduction of structural stress to limit maintenance, and proactive protection against high waves. In this paper, we explore different function approximations for the policy and critic networks in modeling the sequential nature of the system dynamics.
