Researchers have developed a new method for active flow control that utilizes coding agents to search for explicit feedback laws, moving away from traditional deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approaches. This heuristic learning protocol allows agents to iteratively propose, evaluate, and revise controller implementations. The discovered heuristic controllers demonstrated performance comparable to or exceeding state-of-the-art DRL baselines across 13 benchmarks, offering the advantages of being compact, interpretable, and directly inspectable.
