contents Small-scale turbulence can be comprehensively described in terms of velocity gradients, which makes them an appealing starting point for low-dimensional modeling. Typical models consist of stochastic equations based on closures for non-local pressure and viscous contributions. The fidelity of the resulting models depends on the accuracy of the underlying modeling assumptions. Here, we discuss an alternative data-driven approach leveraging machine learning to derive a velocity gradient model which captures its statistics by construction. We use a normalizing flow to learn the velocity gradient probability density function (PDF) from direct numerical simulation (DNS) of incompressible turbulence. Then, by using the equation for the single-time PDF of the velocity gradient, we construct a deterministic, yet chaotic, dynamical system featuring the learned steady-state PDF by design. Finally, utilizing gauge terms for the velocity gradient single-time statistics, we optimize the time correlations as obtained from our model against the DNS data. As a result, the model time realizations statistically closely resemble the time series from DNS.
