Abstract

In this work recent advancements are presented in utilising deterministic symbolic regression to infer algebraic models for turbulent stress-strain relation with sparsity-promoting regression techniques. The goal is to build a functional expression from a set of candidate functions in order to represent the target data most accurately. Targets are the coefficients of a polynomial tensor basis, which are identified from high-fidelity data using regularised least-square regression. The method successfully identified a correction term for the benchmark test case of flow over periodic hills in 2D at Reh = 10595.
