An improved periodic activation for PINNs reconstructing convective flows

The paper proposes a physics-informed neural network (PINN) architecture that uses the complex exponential function as an activation, producing sine and cosine outputs. Compared to standard sine-activated multilayer perceptrons, this design yields markedly better temperature reconstructions from sparse velocity data in cubic Rayleigh-Bénard convection, while keeping per‑step computational cost similar. The authors attribute the gains to the network’s ability to propagate both sine and cosine components, allowing each neuron in the next layer to adjust the phase of the latent periodic signals.

Fourier Neural Operators for Rayleigh-B\'enard Convection

arXiv:2607. 02088v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose an improved Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) for modeling two-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection by predicting time increments instead of full solutions, achieving higher accuracy than a standard FNO baseline.

Advances in Scientific Machine Learning for Coupled Fluid Flow and Transport

This chapter reviews recent advances in Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) for modeling coupled fluid flow and transport phenomena governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes and scalar transport equations. Such systems, found in applications like turbidity currents and thermal convection, feature strong nonlinear coupling and multiscale behavior that make high-fidelity simulations computationally expensive.

Physics-enriched neural solvers for transient ice-flow simulation

Physics-enriched neural solvers for transient ice-flow simulation present a method where a neural network represents the glacier velocity field, warm-started from the previous time step and updated with few optimizer iterations. By feeding the network inexpensive input fields derived from low-order ice-flow balances, the solver improves robustness and accuracy across three real-world glacier configurations, achieving surface-velocity errors reduced by factors of two to four at fixed runtime. The approach enables a 300-year Aletsch simulation to finish in under one minute on a single GPU, demonstrating significant computational savings compared to traditional higher-order models.
