abstract = {The modeling and control of fluid flows remain a
significant challenge with tremendous potential to advance
fields including transportation, energy, and medicine.
Effective fluid flow control can lead to drag reduction,
enhanced mixing, and noise reduction, among other
applications. While reinforcement learning (RL) has shown
great success in complex domains, such as robotics and
protein folding, its application to flow control is hindered
by the lack of standardized platforms and the computational
demands of fluid simulations. To address these challenges,
we introduce HydroGym, a solver-independent RL platform for
flow control research. HydroGym integrates sophisticated
flow control benchmarks, a scalable runtime, and
state-of-the-art RL algorithms. Our platform includes four
validated non-differentiable fluid flow environments and one
differentiable environment, all evaluated with a variety of
modern RL algorithms. HydroGym’s scalable design allows
computations to run seamlessly from laptops to
high-performance computing resources, providing a
standardized interface for implementing new flow
environments. HydroGym aims to bridge the gap in flow
control research, providing a robust platform to support
both non-differentiable and differentiable RL techniques,
fostering advancements in scientific machine learning.},
