摘要
Physics-informed deep learning has drawn tremendous interest in recent years to solve computational physics problems,whose basic concept is to embed physical laws to constrain/inform neural networks,with the need of less data for training a reliable model.This can be achieved by incorporating the residual of physics equations into the loss function.Through minimizing the loss function,the network could approximate the solution.In this paper,we propose a mixed-variable scheme of physics-informed neural network(PINN)for fluid dynamics and apply it to simulate steady and transient laminar flows at low Reynolds numbers.A parametric study indicates that the mixed-variable scheme can improve the PINN trainability and the solution accuracy.The predicted velocity and pressure fields by the proposed PINN approach are also compared with the reference numerical solutions.Simulation results demonstrate great potential of the proposed PINN for fluid flow simulation with a high accuracy.
