On a Qualitative Physical Approach for Fluids Engineering : Articulation of Vortex from a Flow
Ikuo Nakamura, Takashi Watanabe, Yorinobu TOYA, Hiroyuki Furukawa · The proceedings of the JSME annual meeting · 2002
In this report a problem of application of a branch-of artificial intelligence that is qualitative physics to the fluids engineering is discussed. A brief review is given for this problem specifically our recent studies are summarized. In order to construct a program which drives a computer as recognize a flow that has a vortex or not, we must clarify the various aspects of human recognition of the flow field. With this respect, we cannot avoid the problem of language that is the most important difference between human ability and animal's one. We recognize a vortex in a flow field when we see it in a situation which means us some merit or some demerit, and we articulate it as some signal. Computer should designate it as human and make an output that correspond a vortex.
