Optimizing fluid mixing by laminar flows with reinforcement learning.

Caption

Fluid mixing processes at industrial scales can be energy-consuming and costly if not optimized. However, the process is usually guided through trial-and-error. Now, researchers from Japan make use of machine learning to solve the optimization problem of fluid mixing, revealing insights that highlight the method’s potential for application in industrial fluid mixing processes.
