Parameter estimation for land-surface models using Neural Physics

arXiv:2505. 02979v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a novel inverse-modelling approach that estimates the parameters of a simple land-surface model (LSM) by assimilating data into a differentiable, physics-based forward model formulated using convolutional operations.

Physics-Informed Error Field Learning: A Post-Training Optimization Framework for Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Physics-Informed Error Field Learning (PIEFL) is a post‑training optimization framework for Physics‑Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). After a primary network reaches satisfactory accuracy, PIEFL introduces an auxiliary error network that learns the discrepancy between the current approximation and the exact solution by deriving error control equations under physical constraints. The learned error correction is then combined with the primary prediction, improving solution accuracy without modifying the primary network architecture and focusing computational resources on correcting existing prediction errors.

An Adaptive Machine Learning Framework for Fluid Flow in Dual-Network Porous Media

The paper introduces a physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework for modeling fluid flow in dual‑network porous media, specifically addressing double porosity/permeability (DPP) systems. The framework embeds governing equations and boundary conditions into the loss function with adaptive weighting, employs dynamic collocation point selection, and uses shared trunk architectures to efficiently capture coupled pore‑network behavior. It is mesh‑free, accurately handles discontinuities across layered domains, and supports robust inverse analysis for parameter identification, with a systematic convergence study validating its stability and accuracy.

Physics-Informed Neural Networks to Infer the Perpendicular Energy Conductivity in the Scrape-Off Layer of Stellarator Devices

The paper presents an inverse Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) framework that infers the scrape‑off layer (SOL) perpendicular heat conductivity κ_π(n,T) from radial electron density and temperature measurements combined with a reduced one‑dimensional transport equation. Three neural networks are trained simultaneously: two reconstruct the temperature and density profiles, while the third models the conductivity as a function of local density and temperature. The method is validated on synthetic data, achieving errors below 10 % in the data‑constrained region, and is then applied to experimental data from the TJ‑II stellarator using a helium‑beam diagnostic to estimate the effective SOL conductivity.

A variational physics-informed graph neural network for heterogeneous solid mechanics

The paper introduces a variational, label‑free physics‑informed graph neural network (PI‑GNN) that models heterogeneous solid mechanics by embedding material heterogeneity into the discretization rather than the neural network’s trial field. The PI‑GNN operates on a conforming adaptive mesh graph, assigns constitutive behavior per element, and minimizes the discrete total potential energy without penalty terms or interface weights, yielding a discrete energy equivalent to the finite element Ritz functional. Across small‑strain elasticity and finite‑strain Neo‑Hookean hyperelasticity in 2D and 3D, the method achieves von Mises errors below 3.58 % over a wide stiffness‑contrast range, outperforming strong‑form PINNs and reducing displacement errors significantly.
