Data-Driven Fluid Mechanics : Cambridge University Press : 9781108842143 : 1108842143 : 02 Feb 2023 : "Data-driven methods have become an essential part of the methodological portfolio of fluid dynamicists, motivating students and practitioners to gather practical knowledge from a diverse range of disciplines. These fields include computer science, statistics, optimization, signal processing, pattern recognition, nonlinear dynamics, and control. Fluid mechanics is historically a big data field and offers a fertile ground for developing and applying data-driven methods, while also providing valuable shortcuts, constraints, and interpretations based on its powerful connections to basic physics. Thus, hybrid approaches that leverage both methods based on data as well as fundamental principles are the focus of active and exciting research. Originating from aone-week lecture series course by the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, this book presents an overview and a pedagogical treatm
