Self-Evolving Scientific Agent Designs Physically-Reasoned Whitebox Fluid Control
The paper introduces a self‑evolving scientific agent that uses large language models and iterative code generation to build interpretable, physically‑reasoned white‑box controllers for complex systems. The agent deploys candidate controllers in simulations, diagnoses dynamic behavior from multimodal evidence, and refines source code until a robust policy is achieved. Applied to a nonlinear fluid‑structure interaction problem—a two‑joint dogfish swimmer navigating an unsteady wake—the agent autonomously designs a controller that consistently reaches targets across a wide range of conditions without retraining.

Self-Evolving Scientific Agent Designs Physically Reasoned White-Box Fluid Control
The paper presents a method where self‑evolving scientific agents design explicit, neural‑network‑free white‑box controllers for fluid dynamics tasks. By iteratively interpreting simulation data, the agents accumulate control knowledge and refine controller code, ultimately achieving robust control of an underactuated two‑joint swimmer in unsteady flows. The resulting controllers generalize across varying target positions, wake geometries, cylinder counts, and inflow speeds, and 2D control priors successfully transfer to accelerate 3D adaptation.
