Owing to its structure possessing a bottleneck with a lower dimension, an autoencoder works to achieve data compression, extracting the essence of the high-dimensional data into the resulting latent space. We review the fundamentals of flow field compression using convolutional neural network-based autoencoder (CNN-AE) and its applications to various fluid dynamics problems. We cover the structure and the working principle of CNN-AE with an example of unsteady flows while examining the theoretical similarities between linear and nonlinear compression techniques. Representative applications of CNN-AE to various flow problems, such as mode decomposition, latent modeling, and flow control, are discussed. Throughout the present review, we show how the outcomes from the nonlinear machine-learning-based compression may support modeling and understanding a range of fluid mechanics problems.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.00343v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.00343v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"compressing-fluid-flows-with-nonlinear","repo_url":"https://github.com/kfukami/CNNAE_Practice","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
