Two models based on convolutional neural networks are trained to predict the two-dimensional instantaneous velocity-fluctuation fields at different wall-normal locations in a turbulent open-channel flow, using wall-shear-stress components and wall pressure as inputs. The first model is fully network (FCN) which directly predicts fluctuations, while second one reconstructs flow linear combination of orthonormal basis functions, obtained through proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), hence...

We propose a novel nonlinear manifold learning from snapshot data and demonstrate its superiority over proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for shedding-dominated shear flows. Key enablers are isometric feature mapping, Isomap, as encoder and, $K$ -nearest neighbours ( NN) algorithm decoder. The proposed technique is applied to numerical experimental datasets including the fluidic pinball, swirling jet wake behind couple of tandem cylinders.

The goal of this study is to present a first step towards establishing criteria aimed at assessing whether particular adverse-pressure-gradient (APG) turbulent boundary layer (TBL) can be considered well-behaved, i.e., it independent the inflow conditions and exempt numerical or experimental artifacts. To end, we analyzed several high-quality datasets, including in-house databases APG TBLs developing over flat-plates suction side wing section, five studies available in literature. Due impact...

A method is proposed to obtain full-domain spatial modes based on Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) measurements performed at different (overlapping) locations.
