Steven L. Brunton, Bernd R. Noack, and Petros Koumoutsakos present a comprehensive review of machine learning applications in fluid mechanics, illustrating how data-driven techniques enhance flow modeling, optimization, and control. The authors highlight diverse successful applications while underscoring the crucial role of integrating physical principles for more robust and generalizable models.

Key insights

• Machine learning offers a powerful, modular framework for extracting knowledge and developing models for complex, high-dimensional fluid mechanics problems that challenge traditional methods.
• The most effective and robust applications of ML in fluid mechanics arise from hybrid approaches that intelligently combine data-driven learning with established physics-informed principles.
• ML-based techniques, including reinforcement learning, show immense potential for active flow control and optimization, enabling the discovery of complex control policies and improved engineering designs.
