Abstract

Constitutive models are widely used for modeling complex systems in science and engineering, when first-principle-based, well-resolved simulations are prohibitively expensive. For example, in fluid dynamics, constitutive models are required to describe nonlocal, unresolved physics such as turbulence and laminar-turbulent transition. However, traditional constitutive models based on PDEs often lack robustness and are too rigid to accommodate diverse calibration datasets. We propose a frame-independent, nonlocal constitutive model based on a vector-cloud neural network that represents the physics of PDEs and meanwhile can be learned with data. The proposed model can be interpreted as a neural operator, which by design, respects all the invariance properties desired by constitutive models, faithfully reflects the region of influence in physics, and is applicable to different spatial resolutions. We demonstrate its performance on modeling the Reynolds stress for Reynolds-averaged Navier--Stokes (RANS) equations in two situations: (1) emulating the Reynolds stress transport model through synthetic data and (2) calibrating the Reynolds stress through data from direct numerical simulations. Our results show that the proposed neural operator is a promising alternative to traditional nonlocal constitutive models and paves the way for developing robust and nonlocal, non-equilibrium closure models for the RANS equations.

    Abstract:We will review physics-informed neural network and summarize available extensions for applications in computational mechanics and beyond. We will also introduce new NNs that learn functionals and nonlinear operators from functions and corresponding responses for system identification. The universal approximation theorem of operators is suggestive of the potential of NNs in learning fro...
