Closed-loop wall control learnt by multi-agent reinforcement learning can lower skin-friction drag in turbulent channels, but these gradient-based policies are trained on small periodic boxes and exhibit reduced performance when carried over to a larger domain. We recently showed that such policies are also prone to saturated bang-bang actuations that collapse into standing streamwise waves whose scale is set by the computational box rather than by the near-wall cycle, and proposed architectural fixes that avoid these degeneracies.

arXiv:2607. 09042v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) is increasingly used to post-train vision-language-action (VLA) models, but every update consumes robot rollouts that are slow and costly to collect, making sample efficiency a central concern.
