ricardovinuesa · x · 2026-10-05
HydroGym, a reinforcement learning platform for fluid dynamics developed by Ricardo Vinuesa's group with Christian Lagemann, Steven Brunton and collaborators, has been published in Nature (vol. 657, pp. 369-376) and featured on the cover, with 61k accesses already.
- What it is: an open RL platform for flow control research — effective control of fluid flows can increase lift, reduce drag, and enhance mixing across transportation, energy, and medicine.
- Why it matters: a flagship AI-for-Science result applying deep RL to real turbulence control problems, published as an open-access platform paper.
