Vortex dynamics encompasses the study of rotating fluid structures that span scales from centimetre-sized eddies in engineering applications to kilometre-scale systems in the atmosphere and oceans.
Vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) occur when fluid flows past a bluff body and alternately sheds vortices from its sides, generating periodic transverse forces that can excite structural oscillations.

Reinforcement learning tames confined cylinder wakes

In fluid dynamics, the wake behind a cylinder can exhibit complex vortex shedding, a phenomenon that becomes even more ...
