Simulation study of pressure wave fluctuation law along fracture under water hammer effect by Jinqi FU, Jun NIAN, Wenxu CHENG

“…The simulation results show that when the pulsating water flows at a certain flow rate in the fissure, the flow rate is hindered and reduced when it encounters the closure of the fissure end, and the water hammer effect occurs due to the superimposed reflection of inertia and pressure waves. Under the action of water hammer, the fluid pressure will jump instantaneously and hit the coal fissure in the form of rectangular pressure wave. …”

Function approximation method based on weights gradient descent in reinforcement learning by Xiaoyan QIN, Yuhan LIU, Yunlong XU, Bin LI

“…Function approximation has gained significant attention in reinforcement learning research as it effectively addresses problems with large-scale, continuous state, and action space.Although the function approximation algorithm based on gradient descent method is one of the most widely used methods in reinforcement learning, it requires careful tuning of the step size parameter as an inappropriate value can lead to slow convergence, unstable convergence, or even divergence.To address these issues, an improvement was made around the temporal-difference (TD) algorithm based on function approximation.The weight update method was enhanced using both the least squares method and gradient descent, resulting in the proposed weights gradient descent (WGD) method.The least squares were used to calculate the weights, combining the ideas of TD and gradient descent to find the error between the weights.And this error was used to directly update the weights.By this method, the weights were updated in a new manner, effectively reducing the consumption of computing resources by the algorithm enhancing other gradient descent-based function approximation algorithms.The WGD method is widely applicable in various gradient descent-based reinforcement learning algorithms.The results show that WGD method can adjust parameters within a wider space, effectively reducing the possibility of algorithm divergence.Additionally, it achieves better performance while improving the convergence speed of the algorithm.…”
