# Machine learning in computational fluid dynamics



This repository contains resources accompanying the lecture [machine learning in fluid dynamics](https://tu-dresden.de/ing/maschinenwesen/ism/psm/studium/lehrveranstaltungen/maschinelles-lernen-in-der-stroemungsmechanik/index) provided by the Institute of Fluid Mechanics at TU Dresden. **Note that slides, notebooks, and other resources will be regularly updated throughout the term.**



## Lectures



If equations in the lecture notebooks do not get rendered properly on Github, download the notebook and open it using `jupyter-lab` (refer to the first exercise session for an overview of dependencies and installation instructions).

## Exercises



### Prerequisites



The exercises are designed for native Linux operating systems like Ubuntu (recommended). They may also work on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). To set up your system for the exercises, refer to the notebook accompanying exercise session 1.

## Datasets



Both exercises and lectures sometimes require datasets. Usually, there are instructions how to create or extract the data yourself. For convenience, a downloadable snapshot of the [latest data (20. Dec 2021)](https://cloudstorage.tu-braunschweig.de/getlink/fiYPP9HwVaypRziqMCjZuQVx/datasets_20_Dec_2021.zip) is provided, too.



## Getting and providing help and feedback



If you

- get stuck solving an exercise problem

- have technical issues

- have theoretical questions about math or programming

- think that some instructions or explanations need improvement

- want to report typos or logical errors

- want to provide feedback and suggestions about the course



the easiest way to get in touch is to open a [new issue](https://github.com/AndreWeiner/ml-cfd-lecture/issues/new) in this repository. Before opening a new issue, please use the **search function** to see if a related issue was reported previously. 



If you are a student at TU Dresden enrolled in the course *Machine Learning in Fluid Dynamics*, you may also get in touch via the [OPAL](https://bildungsportal.sachsen.de/opal/auth/RepositoryEntry/41285910529/CourseNode/84033834447509?6) platform or via mail.
