Thesis title

Development of Surrogate Modelling-Assisted CFD-Driven Training for Accelerating Turbulence Closure Discovery with GEP

Research overview

In turbulence closure model development, Gene-Expression Programming (GEP) with CFD-driven training has emerged as a promising technique for acquiring better turbulence models. However, its reliance on CFD simulations makes the computational cost of this method prohibitively high. Thus, developing a technique that can reduce the required CFD simulations to accelerate the training process would advance this method. To achieve this objective, this research aims to implement surrogate modelling-assisted CFD-driven training for turbulence model development with GEP, intending to extend this method for broader application in more complex scenarios where the CFD simulations are too expensive.
