# PPO on RBC2D-medium-v0 (FluidGym)

This repository is part of the **FluidGym** benchmark results. It contains trained Stable Baselines3 agents for the specialized **RBC2D-medium-v0** environment.

## Evaluation Results

### Global Performance (Aggregated across 5 seeds)
**Mean Reward:** 0.14 ± 0.07

### Per-Seed Statistics
| Run | Mean Reward | Std Dev |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seed 0 | 0.15 | 1.09 |
| Seed 1 | 0.02 | 1.32 |
| Seed 2 | 0.22 | 1.28 |
| Seed 3 | 0.12 | 1.35 |
| Seed 4 | 0.18 | 1.41 |

## About FluidGym
FluidGym is a benchmark for reinforcement learning in active flow control.

## Usage
Each seed is contained in its own subdirectory. You can load a model using:
```python
from stable_baselines3 import PPO
model = PPO.load("0/ckpt_latest.zip")
```

**Important:** The models were trained using ```fluidgym==0.0.2```. In order to use
them with newer versions of FluidGym, you need to wrap the environment with a
`FlattenObservation` wrapper as shown below:
```python
import fluidgym
from fluidgym.wrappers import FlattenObservation
from stable_baselines3 import PPO

env = fluidgym.make("RBC2D-medium-v0")
env = FlattenObservation(env)
model = PPO.load("path_to_model/ckpt_latest.zip")

obs, info = env.reset(seed=42)

action, _ = model.predict(obs, deterministic=True)
obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info = env.step(action)
```
