Generalizable data-driven turbulence closure modeling on unstructured grids with differentiable physics

arXiv — cs.LGWednesday, November 12, 2025 at 5:00:00 AM
The recent study on data-driven turbulence closure modeling marks a significant advancement in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) by embedding deep learning models within finite element solvers for the Navier-Stokes equations. This innovative approach utilizes differentiable physical simulators to facilitate end-to-end training of machine learning models, merging the strengths of physics-based simulations with the adaptability of deep learning. The research initially validates this framework through a two-dimensional backward-facing step flow, establishing a proof of concept that leads to stable and meaningful turbulence closures. Expanding on this, the study successfully applies the method to a three-dimensional turbulent flow scenario, where the graph neural network (GNN) based closure not only minimizes prediction errors but also accurately recovers essential turbulence statistics. This work underscores the potential of combining machine learning with traditional physics-based model…

PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Software aging is a phenomenon that affects long-running systems, resulting in gradual performance degradation and an increased risk of failures. To address this issue, a new adaptive approach utilizing machine learning for software aging detection in dynamic workload environments has been proposed. This study compares static models with adaptive models, specifically the Drift Detection Method (DDM) and Adaptive Windowing (ADWIN).

Fairness for the People, by the People: Minority Collective Action
PositiveArtificial Intelligence
Machine learning models often reflect biases found in their training data, resulting in unfair treatment of minority groups. While various bias mitigation techniques exist, they typically involve utility costs and require organizational support. This article introduces the concept of Algorithmic Collective Action, where end-users from minority groups can collaboratively relabel their data to promote fairness without changing the firm's training process. Three model-agnostic methods for effective relabeling are proposed and validated on real-world datasets, demonstrating that a minority subgroup can significantly reduce unfairness with minimal impact on prediction error.
