Abstract:On-chip flow imaging and characterization offer great opportunities in probing microscopic
multiphase flow physics for novel subsurface energy, water, environmental, and space applications. Theemerging micro-stereolithography-based (μ-SL) 3D printing enables microfluidic chip fabrication with up to2 micrometer feature resolution, providing opportunities for “rock-on-chip”, “vessel-on-chip”, and so on.
Besides, μ-SL system also exhibits great flexibility in cooperating multi-materials during its printing process.
Herein we have developed a novel “micro-3D printing-on-membrane” technique and managed to integratefish gill-mimicked microstructures, metallic micromesh, and polymeric membrane within a single 3D-printedon-chip device for water filtration study. Another demonstration is “rock-on-chip” technology for subsurfaceenergy recovery applications. By incorporating micro-3D printing and surface modification techniques, wehave created a rock replica with the same porous structures and surface mineralogy of nature rock. With thisreal yet transparent ‘rock’, the microscale rock-fluid interactions in complex pore/throat networks isinvestigated to bring innovative solutions for effective energy and water production.

Theme: Fluids
Time: 2024-July-3rd, 9:00 am-10:00 am EDT
Hybrid in E7-2343, Zoom meeting: ()
Abstract:Boundary layer instabilities are of paramount importance for the dynamics of transitional flows,themselves dominating drag production and efficiency of many relevant systems such as aircraft wings.
However, in most real-life cases, aerodynamic surfaces are not smooth or geometrically perfect. Surface nonuniformitiesare inevitable due to debris, damages, and manufacturing features such as joints, panels, rivetsetc. These geometrical features have a profound effect on boundary layer instabilities and transition. Theseeffects are reviewed in this talk, based on recent experimental and numerical studies of our team. Expectedly,in most cases the effect of these features is detrimental, thus leading to anticipation of transition. However,we have discovered limited cases where roughness can actually lead to a delay of transition. These cases haverevealed a wealth of fundamental interaction mechanisms, which can pave the way to passive flow controlmethods. Some next steps and ideas in moving forward will be shared.

Versatile Imitation Learning and Reinforcement Learning with Motion Primitives in RoboticsSpeaker: Prof. Gerhard Neumann

Time: 2024-June-20th, 10:00-11:00 am EDT
Online, Zoom meeting:
Abstract:In this talk, I will present our recent work on imitation learning and reinforcement learning in robotics. I will provide an overview of motion primitives (MPs) in robotics, which have been highly successful for smooth motion generation, and discuss their advantages and disadvantages compared to standard action-based policies. Additionally, I will introduce a novel MP representation called Probabilistic Dynamic Movement Primitives (ProDMPs). This representation can be easily integrated into a neural network architecture while ensuring smooth motion generation.
In the area of imitation learning, I will showcase new augmented reality-based user interfaces that facilitate low-effort data generation. Using these interfaces, we have collected diverse benchmark datasets for evaluating the latest imitation learning algorithms. Diffusion-based policies demonstrate impressive performance in this context. To enhance versatility, we extend the ProDMP framework with diffusion-based policies, ensuring smooth behavior representation.
For reinforcement learning (RL), I will highlight the beneficial exploration properties of MPs by exploring the parameter space of MPs rather than the robot's action space. I will introduce MP-based RL algorithms that treat the RL problem as a black-box optimization problem, requiring the algorithm to select MP parameters instead of low-level control actions. We have developed a novel RL algorithm incorporating differentiable trust region projection layers, which is well-suited for high-dimensional action spaces. This algorithm is extended for replanning and learning versatile behaviors.
Finally, I will discuss how approaches that incorporate human feedback can make reinforcement learning more practical for practitioners by eliminating the need for complex reward functions.

Before that, he was group leader at the Bosch Center for AI and industry on campus professor at the University of Tübingen (from March to Dec. 2019) and full professor at the University of Lincoln in the UK (2016-2019). Gerhard completed my PhD in 2012 at the TU Graz and
was afterwards PostDoc and Assistant Professor at the TU Darmstadt. His research is focused on the intersection of machine learning, robotics and human-robot interaction. His goal is to create data-efficient machine learning algorithms that are suitable for complex robot domains, which includes learning from human feedback, versatile skill learning, learning learning to manipulate deformables, multiagent reinforcement learning as well as fundamental research in machine learning such as variational inference or meta-learning.

CONSTRAINED RADIAL BASIS FUNCTION (RBF) REGRESSION FOR THE MESHLESS AND BINLESS DATA ASSIMILATION IN IMAGE VELOCIMETRY

Abstract:Tracking-based image velocimetry is currently gaining prominence over traditional cross-correlation-based image velocimetry. Modern tracking methods can process images with high tracer density, generally enabling much higher resolution than cross-correlation-based velocimetry while circumventing its inevitable window or voxel averaging. On the other hand, tracking methods produce randomly scattered data, challenging the measurement post-processing to compute derivatives (e.g., velocity gradients or vorticity) or statistics (e.g., mean flow, turbulence intensity fields). A significant research effort in the community resulted in the development of many algorithms to map scattered velocity fields onto grids or bins, the first used to compute derivatives using traditional numerical methods (e.g. finite differences), the second to compute local statistics. Since these often combine data with physical priors (e.g. solenoidal field in incompressible flows), these algorithms fall in the data assimilation framework for image velocimetry. We recently proposed an approach for data assimilation in image velocimetry that requires no interpolation into grids or mapping into bins and achieves super-resolution. The approach uses constrained Radial Basis Functions (RBF) regression to derive an analytic expression of both the flow fields and their statistics. This talk presents the fundamentals of constrained RBF and showcases the method used in synthetic and experimental data to compute derivatives, flow statistics, and pressure fields. We also present our recently released open-source software package SPICY (Super-resolution and Pressure from Image veloCimetrY), developed at the von Karman Institute and close with a perspective on the current and future developments. The talk is based on these publications [1-3].
The talk will be given by Prof. M.A. Mendez and his student M. Ratz. M. A. Mendez is an associate professor at the von Karman Institute, leading the group on machine learning for applied fluid dynamics. His research group focuses on experimental and numerical methods, reduced-order modelling, flow control, digital twinning, and machine learning for industrial and environmental flows. M. Ratz is a PhD candidate at the von Karman Institute and at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, currently leading the developments of SPICY. His PhD focuses on data assimilation and numerical modelling of drone propeller’s aerodynamics.

Control of separated flow and suppression of flow-induced vibration with peripheral spinning rods
Speaker: Prof. Gustavo R. S. Assi
University of São Paulo, Brazil
Theme: Fluids and Thermal
--------------------------------------------
Time: Tue, April 9, 2024, 10 - 11 am EST
Location: In person in E7 2343 or Zoom () Meeting ID: 789 699 0683
Passcode: MME2024
Abstract:Rotating surfaces are an interesting tool for controlling flow separation around bluff bodies. When spinning rods are strategically placed around a circular cylinder, they disrupt the flow in the boundary layer and near wake, effectively delaying separation and vortex formation. This technique not only influences flow patterns but also reduces separation and mitigates vibration effects induced by the flow, thus helping to minimize vortex-induced vibration. With sufficient rotation, a system of rotating actuators can even neutralize drag or generate beneficial lateral forces. In this presentation, we will discuss experimental and numerical findings from our investigation involving eight rotating rods positioned around a central circular cylinder. Our focus will be on unravelling the fundamental physical mechanisms at play. This innovative approach holds great potential for diverse engineering applications, especially in the oceanic, aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering sectors, where managing flow separation, vibration, and noise is important for optimal performance and safety. Of particular interest, this active flow-control method can be applied to large ocean systems, such as floating offshore platforms with cylindrical hulls, offering new ideas for enhancing their efficiency and stability.

Let droplets drop the temperature: Enhancing heat transfer using droplets
Speaker: Patricia Weisensee, PhD
Washington University at St. Louis, USA
Theme: Fluids and Thermal
--------------------------------------------
Time: 2024-Feb-26th, 2:00 pm-3:00 pm EST
Online, Zoom meeting: () Meeting ID: 789 699 0683
Passcode: MME2024
Abstract:We experience and rely on droplets almost every single day of our lives: some more familiar (the shower in the morning, the rain on our way to work, printing documents once at work, etc.), some less obvious (atmospheric water harvesting, thermal management & power generation, materials manufacturing and processing). Yet we hardly ever think about them – we take them for granted. In this talk I will show that droplets aren’t only ubiquitous in both nature and industrial processes, but also a complex and fascinating research subject that still holds many mysteries to be solved. In my research group, we are especially interested in the coupling of fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and phase change (condensation or evaporation) during the interaction of droplets with solid or other liquid surfaces.
In this presentation, I will introduce two examples of such interactions: 1) droplet impact and evaporation/boiling dynamics on heated surfaces, and 2) dropwise condensation on so-called lubricant-infused surfaces. These oil-coated surfaces can significantly increase water collection rates compared to bare metal surfaces due to extremely high droplet mobility. Lubricant wetting ridges surrounding droplets introduce an attractive capillary force, leading to self-propelled and gravity-independent droplet motion, which efficiently clears the surface for frequent re-nucleation. On the other hand, restricting the mobility of droplets can be advantageous during droplet evaporation. Interestingly, when droplets impact a heated surface, the creation of additional contact lines, either through wettability-patterning the surface or the formation of an entrapped air bubble, does not significantly alter the heat transfer performance. Instead, convection (at early times) and conduction (at later times) dominate heat transfer, meaning that the addition of – for example – metallic posts with high thermal conductivity on the surface can effectively increase heat transfer rates in these scenarios.
Dr. Weisenseeis an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Materials Science at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU). She earned her PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2016. She received a Diplom-Ingenieur in Mechanical Engineering from TU Munich in 2013 and also holds a M.S. in Materials Sciences from UIUC (2011). At WashU, Dr. Weisensee leads the Thermal Fluids Research Group, which focuses on understanding the interplay of fluid dynamics and heat transfer of droplets and other multi-phase systems, with applications in thermal management, water harvesting, additive manufacturing, and droplet interactions with natural and engineered systems. To fundamentally study these thermal-fluidic interactions, her group combines multiple experimental techniques, such as high-speed optical and infrared (IR) imaging, interferometry, confocal fluorescence microscopy, and conventional heat transfer measurements. Dr. Weisensee is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, the NASA Early Career Faculty Award, the AFOSR YIP Award, the 2014 Siemens Energy Award, the 2020 ASME ICNMM Outstanding Early Investigator Award, as well as the St. Louis-wide 2020 Emerson Excellence in Teaching Award.

Abstract:Future robots are expected to help us in various tasks, of which many require collaborative effort to be successfully completed. To achieve such behaviours, the robot must be able to physically interact with the human counterpart and predict the intentions of the human counterparts, despite the additional interaction with unpredictable environments. Appropriate robot control methods therefore are essential for the robot to deal with various uncertainties, dynamic aspects, and complex task requirements. A promising direction towards this goal is to adaptively regulate
mechanical parameters of the robot via software, based on the task requirements and robot proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensory information. This talk will explore how the Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction (HRI²) laboratory is using machine learning and control to create more autonomous yet truly collaborative robots, ultimately leading to more adaptable, more efficient interactions in various settings. The talk will cover topics related to real-time human kinodynamic state monitoring in HRI/C and autonomous robot loco-manipulation controllers using hybrid ML and control.
