We present a sparse sensing framework based on Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) to identify flow regimes and bifurcations in large-scale thermo-fluid systems. Motivated by real-time control of thermal-fluid flows buildings equipment, we apply this method Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) data set 2D laterally heated cavity. The resulting solutions can be divided into several regimes, ranging from steady chaotic flow. DMD modes eigenvalues capture the main temporal spatial scales dynamics...

Abstract Building reduced-order models (ROMs) is essential for efficient forecasting and control of complex dynamical systems. Recently, autoencoder-based methods building such have gained significant traction, but their demand data limits use when the scarce expensive. We propose aiding a model’s training with knowledge physics using collocation-based physics-informed loss term. Our innovation builds on ideas from classical collocation numerical analysis to embed known equation into...

There is considerable interest in the automotive industry computer aided engineering tools that support rapid development of quality products. We describe some design and implementation issues for such a tool, namely, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulator, context powertrain control system software development. This HIL used to verify production controller module (PCM) performance. Hence, driveline dynamics are simulated on hardware PCM "hardware" loop. requirements from users' developer's...

Recent work has shown that reinforcement learning (RL) is a promising approach to control dynamical systems described by partial differential equations (PDE). This paper shows how use RL tackle more general PDE problems have continuous high-dimensional action spaces with spatial relationship among dimensions. In particular, we propose the concept of descriptors, which encode regularities spatially-extended dimensions and enable agent PDEs. We provide theoretical evidence suggesting this can...

Abstract Naïve estimation of horizontal wind velocity over complex terrain using measurements from a single wind-LiDAR introduces bias due to the assumption uniform in any plane. While Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-based methods have been proposed for removal, there are several issues exist implantation. For instance, upstream atmospheric boundary layer thickness or direction unknown. Conventional CFD-based corrections use trial and error estimate bias. Such approaches not only become...
