Model reduction for fluid flow simulation continues to be of great interest across a number of scientific and engineering fields. Here, we explore the use of Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, a recently introduced family of continuous-depth, differentiable networks (Chen et al 2018), as a way to propagate latent-space dynamics in reduced order models. We compare their behavior with two classical non-intrusive methods based on proper orthogonal decomposition and radial basis function interpolation as well as dynamic mode decomposition. The test problems we consider include incompressible flow around a cylinder as well as real-world applications of shallow water hydrodynamics in riverine and estuarine systems. Our findings indicate that Neural ODEs provide an elegant framework for stable and accurate evolution of latent-space dynamics with a promising potential of extrapolatory predictions. However, in order to facilitate their widespread adoption for large-scale systems, significant effort needs to be directed at accelerating their training times. This will enable a more comprehensive exploration of the hyperparameter space for building generalizable Neural ODE approximations over a wide range of system dynamics.

Model reduction for fluid flow simulation continues to be of great interest across a number of scientific and engineering fields. In a previous work [arXiv:2104.13962], we explored the use of Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODE) as a non-int rusive method for propagating the latent-space dynamics in reduced order models. Here, we investigate employing deep autoencoders for discovering the reduced basis representation, the dynamics of which are then approximated by NODE. The ability of deep autoencoders to represent the latent-space is compared to the traditional proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) approach, again in conjunction with NODE for capturing the dynamics. Additionally, we compare their behavior with two classical non-intrusive methods based on POD and radial basis function interpolation as well as dynamic mode decomposition. The test problems we consider include incompressible flow around a cylinder as well as a real-world application of shallow water hydrodynamics in an estuarine system. Our findings indicate that deep autoencoders can leverage nonlinear manifold learning to achieve a highly efficient compression of spatial information and define a latent-space that appears to be more suitable for capturing the temporal dynamics through the NODE framework.
We introduce a new family of deep neural network models. Instead of specifying a discrete sequence of hidden layers, we parameterize the derivative of the hidden state using a neural network. The output of the network is computed using a black-box di fferential equation solver. These continuous-depth models have constant memory cost, adapt their evaluation strategy to each input, and can explicitly trade numerical precision for speed. We demonstrate these properties in continuous-depth residual networks and continuous-time latent variable models. We also construct continuous normalizing flows, a generative model that can train by maximum likelihood, without partitioning or ordering the data dimensions. For training, we show how to scalably backpropagate through any ODE solver, without access to its internal operations. This allows end-to-end training of ODEs within larger models.
There are two main strategies for improving the projection-based reduced order model (ROM) accuracy: (i) improving the ROM, i.e., adding new terms to the standard ROM; and (ii) improving the ROM basis, i.e., constructing ROM bases that yield more acc urate ROMs. In this paper, we use the latter. We propose new Lagrangian inner products that we use together with Eulerian and Lagrangian data to construct new Lagrangian ROMs. We show that the new Lagrangian ROMs are orders of magnitude more accurate than the standard Eulerian ROMs, i.e., ROMs that use standard Eulerian inner product and data to construct the ROM basis. Specifically, for the quasi-geostrophic equations, we show that the new Lagrangian ROMs are more accurate than the standard Eulerian ROMs in approximating not only Lagrangian fields (e.g., the finite time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE)), but also Eulerian fields (e.g., the streamfunction). We emphasize that the new Lagrangian ROMs do not employ any closure modeling to model the effect of discarded modes (which is standard procedure for low-dimensional ROMs of complex nonlinear systems). Thus, the dramatic increase in the new Lagrangian ROMs accuracy is entirely due to the novel Lagrangian inner products used to build the Lagrangian ROM basis.

Monitoring the dynamics processes in combustors is crucial for safe and efficient operations. However, in practice, only limited data can be obtained due to limitations in the measurable quantities, visualization window, and temporal resolution. This work proposes an approach based on neural differential equations to approximate the unknown quantities from available sparse measurements. The approach tackles the challenges of nonlinearity and the curse of dimensionality in inverse modeling by representing the dynamic signal using neural network models. In addition, we augment physical models for combustion with neural differential equations to enable learning from sparse measurements. We demonstrated the inverse modeling approach in a model combustor system by simulating the oscillation of an industrial combustor with a perfectly stirred reactor. Given the sparse measurements of the temperature inside the combustor, upstream fluctuations in compositions and/or flow rates can be inferred. Various types of fluctuations in the upstream, as well as the responses in the combustor, were synthesized to train and validate the algorithm. The results demonstrated that the approach can efficiently and accurately infer the dynamics of the unknown inlet boundary conditions, even without assuming the types of fluctuations. Those demonstrations shall open a lot of opportunities in utilizing neural differential equations for fault diagnostics and model-based dynamic control of industrial power systems.

Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) are a promising approach to learn dynamic models from time-series data in science and engineering applications. This work aims at learning Neural ODE for stiff systems, which are usually raised from chemic al kinetic modeling in chemical and biological systems. We first show the challenges of learning neural ODE in the classical stiff ODE systems of Robertsons problem and propose techniques to mitigate the challenges associated with scale separations in stiff systems. We then present successful demonstrations in stiff systems of Robertsons problem and an air pollution problem. The demonstrations show that the usage of deep networks with rectified activations, proper scaling of the network outputs as well as loss functions, and stabilized gradient calculations are the key techniques enabling the learning of stiff neural ODE. The success of learning stiff neural ODE opens up possibilities of using neural ODEs in applications with widely varying time-scales, like chemical dynamics in energy conversion, environmental engineering, and the life sciences.
