contents This paper discusses the control of coherent structures in turbulent flows, which has broad applications among complex systems in science and technology. Mean field games have been proved a powerful tool and are proposed here to control the stochastic Lagrangian tracers as players tracking the flow field. We derive optimal control solutions for general nonlinear fluid systems using mean field game models, and develop computational algorithms to efficiently solve the resulting coupled forward and backward mean field system. A precise link is established for the control of Lagrangian tracers and the scalar vorticity field based on the functional Hamilton-Jacobi equations derived from the mean field models. New iterative numerical strategy is then constructed to compute the optimal solution with fast convergence. We verify the skill of the mean field control models and illustrate their practical efficiency on a prototype model modified from the viscous Burger's equation under various cost functions in both deterministic and stochastic formulations. The good model performance implies potential effectiveness of the strategy for more general high-dimensional turbulent systems.
