Abstract
Turbulence models play essential roles in aerospace science and technology, such as flows around aircraft and of planetary atmospheres. They are rapidly empowered by machine learning methods (Duraisamy, Iaccarino, and Xiao, 2019) and will be a crucial building block of aerospace science and technology in the near future. The present study aims to integrate physics and data-driven methods for turbulence modeling.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
Machine-learning-based predictions and models of turbulence will be necessary for future aerospace science and technology. The reason to use JAXA Supercomputer System is that we can develop these methods based on training data of turbulent flows with high-resolution, numerical calculations requiring a massively parallel supercomputer.
Achievements of the Year
We study the unpredictability of turbulence based on the orbital instability characterized by the Lyapunov exponent and vector. Fig. 1 shows the vortex tubes in turbulent flows in a periodic box (red) and the unstable mode corresponding to the Lyapunov vector (blue). The unstable mode has dipole structures that are localized at the vortex tubes.
