الوصف: In this work we compare different drag-reduction strategies that compute their actuation based on the fluctuations at a given wall-normal location in turbulent open channel flow. In order to perform this study, we implement and describe in detail the reinforcement-learning interface to a computationally-efficient, parallelized, high-fidelity solver for fluid-flow simulations. We consider opposition control (Choi, Moin, and Kim, Journal of Fluid Mechanics 262, 1994) and the policies learnt using deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based on the state of the flow at two inner-scaled locations ($y^+ = 10$ and $y^+ = 15$). By using deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) algorithm, we are able to discover control strategies that outperform existing control methods. This represents a first step in the exploration of the capability of DRL algorithm to discover effective drag-reduction policies using information from different locations in the flow.
