Cova-PINN: Cross-Domain Conservation Physics-Informed Neural Network for Fluid-Solid Conjugate Heat Transfer in Complex Geometries

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

Cova-PINN is a multi-domain physics-informed neural network designed to model fluid–solid conjugate heat transfer in complex geometries. It aligns conservation support with thermal interaction paths, jointly optimizing cross-domain composite control‑volume balances at the local scale and paired‑wall closure at the global exchanger scale. In tests on four triply periodic minimal surface heat exchangers and a DualMS design, Cova‑PINN reduces average outlet‑temperature and device‑level closure errors by 37.7 % and 60.2 % compared to the closest baseline, while improving full‑field and heat‑duty accuracy.

MUSA-PINN: Multi-scale Weak-form Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Fluid Flow in Complex Geometries

arXiv:2603. 08465v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) offer a mesh-free approach to solving fluid-flow PDEs, standard point-wise residual minimization suffers from convergence pathologies in topologically complex domains like Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS).

Hybrid coupling with numerics-informed neural networks and the overlapping Schwarz alternating method

The paper introduces a hybrid modeling framework that couples numerics-informed neural networks (NINNs) with classical full order models (FOMs) via the overlapping Schwarz alternating method. It demonstrates that a monolithic NINN can be accurately trained on a two-dimensional advection-diffusion problem in a high Peclet-number regime without domain decomposition, and then uses overlapping multiplicative Schwarz to couple a pre-trained, subdomain-local NINN with a neighboring FOM while keeping the NINN weights fixed during iteration. Two training strategies—top-down, using full-domain FOM-FOM Schwarz data, and bottom-up, generating synthetic boundary traces—both yield hybrid NINN-FOM solutions that closely match the corresponding FOM-FOM Schwarz results.

A Composable AI-Accelerated Iterative Solver for 3D-IC Thermal Modeling

A new AI-accelerated iterative solver, DAIST, is introduced for 3D-IC thermal modeling. It decomposes a full-package FEM simulation into block-level subdomains, replaces each subdomain solver with a neural operator, and couples them through iterative exchanges of interfacial temperature and heat flux. This approach eliminates the need to retrain models when die count or topology changes and offers a controllable accuracy‑runtime tradeoff, achieving up to 178× speedup with minimal temperature error on tested systems.

Cross-Domain Pretraining for Steady-State Neural CFD Surrogates

The paper presents cross‑domain pretraining for neural surrogates in steady‑state computational fluid dynamics (CFD). By training models across varied geometries, boundary conditions, and fidelities, the authors show that such pretraining improves zero‑ and few‑shot performance compared to training from scratch or transferring from domain‑specific experts. Finetuning a pretrained cross‑domain model can reduce errors by 2–3× at the same sample size and require eight times fewer samples to reach the same error, with benefits that grow with model size and dataset diversity.
