Abstract The study is focused on the performance of machine-learning methods applied to improve the velocity field predictions in canonical turbulent flows by the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation models. A key issue here is to approximate the unknown term of the Reynolds stress (RS) tensor needed to close the RANS equations. A turbulent channel flow with the curved backward-facing step on the bottom has the high-fidelity LES data set. It is chosen as the test case to examine possibilities of GEP (gene expression programming) of formulating the enhanced RANS approximations. Such a symbolic regression technique allows us to get the new explicit expressions for the RS anisotropy tensor. Results obtained by the new model produced using GEP are compared with those from the LES data (serving as the target benchmark solution during the machine-learning algorithm training) and from the conventional RANS model with the linear gradient Boussinesq hypothesis for the Reynolds stress tensor.
