Recent works have explored the potential of machine learning as data-driven turbulence closures for RANS and LES techniques. Beyond these advances, the high expressivity and agility of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) make them promising candidates for full fluid flow PDE modeling. An important question is whether this new paradigm, exempt from the traditional notion of discretization of the underlying operators very much connected to the flow scales resolution, is capable of sustaining high levels of turbulence characterized by multi-scale features? We investigate the use of PINNs surrogate modeling for turbulent Rayleigh-B{e}nard (RB) convection flows in rough and smooth rectangular cavities, mainly relying on DNS temperature data from the fluid bulk. We carefully quantify the computational requirements under which the formulation is capable of accurately recovering the flow hidden quantities. We then propose a new padding technique to distribute some of the scattered coordinates-at which PDE residuals are minimized-around the region of labeled data acquisition. We show how it comes to play as a regularization close to the training boundaries which are zones of poor accuracy for standard PINNs and results in a noticeable global accuracy improvement at iso-budget. Finally, we propose for the first time to relax the incompressibility condition in such a way that it drastically benefits the optimization search and results in a much improved convergence of the composite loss function. The RB results obtained at high Rayleigh number Ra = 2 $bullet$ 10 9 are particularly impressive: the predictive accuracy of the surrogate over the entire half a billion DNS coordinates yields errors for all flow variables ranging between [0.3% -- 4%] in the relative L 2 norm, with a training relying only on 1.6% of the DNS data points.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have recently shown great promise as a way of incorporating physics-based domain knowledge, including fundamental governing equations, into neural network models for many complex engineering systems. They have been particularly effective in the area of inverse problems, where boundary conditions may be ill-defined, and data-absent scenarios, where typical supervised learning approaches will fail. Here, we further explore the use of this modeling methodology to surrogate modeling of a fluid dynamical system, and demonstrate additional undiscussed and interesting advantages of such a modeling methodology over conventional data-driven approaches: 1) improving the models predictive performance even with incomplete description of the underlying physics; 2) improving the robustness of the model to noise in the dataset; 3) reduced effort to convergence during optimization for a new, previously unseen scenario by transfer optimization of a pre-existing model. Hence, we noticed the inclusion of a physics-based regularization term can substantially improve the equivalent data-driven surrogate model in many substantive ways, including an order of magnitude improvement in test error when the dataset is very noisy, and a 2-3x improvement when only partial physics is included. In addition, we propose a novel transfer optimization scheme for use in such surrogate modeling scenarios and demonstrate an approximately 3x improvement in speed to convergence and an order of magnitude improvement in predictive performance over conventional Xavier initialization for training of new scenarios.
Investigation of the turbulent properties of solar convection is extremely important for understanding the multi-scale dynamics observed on the solar surface. In particular, recent high-resolution observations have revealed ubiquitous vortical structures, and numerical simulations have demonstrated links between vortex tube dynamics and magnetic field organization and have shown the importance of vortex tube interactions in the mechanisms of acoustic wave excitation on the Sun. In this paper we investigate the mechanisms of the formation of vortex tubes in highly-turbulent convective flows near the solar surface by using realistic radiative hydrodynamic LES simulations. Analysis of data from the simulations indicates two basic processes of vortex tube formation: 1) development of small-scale convective instability inside convective granules, and 2) a Kelvin-Helmholtz type instability of shearing flows in intergranular lanes. Our analysis shows that vortex stretching during these processes is a primary source of generation of small-scale vorticity on the Sun.
In this paper, we investigate data-driven parameterized modeling of insertion loss for transmission lines with respect to design parameters. We first show that direct application of neural networks can lead to non-physics models with negative insertion loss. To mitigate this problem, we propose two deep learning solutions. One solution is to add a regulation term, which represents the passive condition, to the final loss function to enforce the negative quantity of insertion loss. In the second method, a third-order polynomial expression is defined first, which ensures positiveness, to approximate the insertion loss, then DeepONet neural network structure, which was proposed recently for function and system modeling, was employed to model the coefficients of polynomials. The resulting neural network is applied to predict the coefficients of the polynomial expression. The experimental results on an open-sourced SI/PI database of a PCB design show that both methods can ensure the positiveness for the insertion loss. Furthermore, both methods can achieve similar prediction results, while the polynomial-based DeepONet method is faster than DeepONet based method in training time.
Background: Floods are the most common natural disaster in the world, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions. Flood forecasting is therefore a vitally important endeavor, typically achieved using physical water flow simulations, which rely on accurate terrain elevation maps. However, such simulations, based on solving partial differential equations, are computationally prohibitive on a large scale. This scalability issue is commonly alleviated using a coarse grid representation of the elevation map, though this representation may distort crucial terrain details, leading to significant inaccuracies in the simulation. Contributions: We train a deep neural network to perform physics-informed downsampling of the terrain map: we optimize the coarse grid representation of the terrain maps, so that the flood prediction will match the fine grid solution. For the learning process to succeed, we configure a dataset specifically for this task. We demonstrate that with this method, it is possible to achieve a significant reduction in computational cost, while maintaining an accurate solution. A reference implementation accompanies the paper as well as documentation and code for dataset reproduction.
Data modeling and reduction for in situ is important. Feature-driven methods for in situ data analysis and reduction are a priority for future exascale machines as there are currently very few such methods. We investigate a deep-learning based workflow that targets in situ data processing using autoencoders. We propose a Residual Autoencoder integrated Residual in Residual Dense Block (RRDB) to obtain better performance. Our proposed framework compressed our test data into 66 KB from 2.1 MB per 3D volume timestep.
