Data-driven recovery of hidden physics in reduced order modeling of fluid flows

In this article, we introduce a modular hybrid analysis and modeling (HAM) approach to account for hidden physics in reduced order modeling (ROM) of parameterized systems relevant to fluid dynamics. The hybrid ROM framework is based on using the first principles to model the known physics in conjunction with utilizing the data-driven machine learning tools to model remaining residual that is hidden in data. This framework employs proper orthogonal decomposition as a compression tool to construct orthonormal bases and Galerkin projection (GP) as a model to built the dynamical core of the system. Our proposed methodology hence compensates structural or epistemic uncertainties in models and utilizes the observed data snapshots to compute true modal coefficients spanned by these bases. The GP model is then corrected at every time step with a data-driven rectification using a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network architecture to incorporate hidden physics. A Grassmannian manifold approach is also adapted for interpolating basis functions to unseen parametric conditions. The control parameter governing the system's behavior is thus implicitly considered through true modal coefficients as input features to the LSTM network. The effectiveness of the HAM approach is discussed through illustrative examples that are generated synthetically to take hidden physics into account. Our approach thus provides insights addressing a fundamental limitation of the physics-based models when the governing equations are incomplete to represent underlying physical processes.

A priori analysis on deep learning of subgrid-scale parameterizations for Kraichnan turbulence

In the present study, we investigate different data-driven parameterizations for large eddy simulation of two-dimensional turbulence in the \emph{a priori} settings. These models utilize resolved flow field variables on the coarser grid to estimate the subgrid-scale stresses. We use data-driven closure models based on localized learning that employs multilayer feedforward artificial neural network (ANN) with point-to-point mapping and neighboring stencil data mapping, and convolutional neural network (CNN) fed by data snapshots of the whole domain. The performance of these data-driven closure models is measured through a probability density function and is compared with the dynamic Smagorinksy model (DSM). The quantitative performance is evaluated using the cross-correlation coefficient between the true and predicted stresses. We analyze different frameworks in terms of the amount of training data, selection of input and output features, their characteristics in modeling with accuracy, and training and deployment computational time. We also demonstrate computational gain that can be achieved using the intelligent eddy viscosity model that learns eddy viscosity computed by the DSM instead of subgrid-scale stresses. We detail the hyperparameters optimization of these models using the grid search algorithm.

Memory embedded non-intrusive reduced order modeling of non-ergodic flows

Generating a digital twin of any complex system requires modeling and computational approaches that are efficient, accurate, and modular. Traditional reduced order modeling techniques are targeted at only the first two but the novel non-intrusive approach presented in this study is an attempt at taking all three into account effectively compared to their traditional counterparts. Based on dimensionality reduction using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), we introduce a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network architecture together with a principal interval decomposition (PID) framework as an enabler to account for localized modal deformation, which is a key element in accurate reduced order modeling of convective flows. Our applications for convection dominated systems governed by Burgers, Navier-Stokes, and Boussinesq equations demonstrate that the proposed approach yields significantly more accurate predictions than the POD-Galerkin method, and could be a key enabler towards near real-time predictions of unsteady flows.

Digital Twin: Values, Challenges and Enablers

A digital twin can be defined as an adaptive model of a complex physical system. Recent advances in computational pipelines, multiphysics solvers, artificial intelligence, big data cybernetics, data processing and management tools bring the promise of digital twins and their impact on society closer to reality. Digital twinning is now an important and emerging trend in many applications. Also referred to as a computational megamodel, device shadow, mirrored system, avatar or a synchronized virtual prototype, there can be no doubt that a digital twin plays a transformative role not only in how we design and operate cyber-physical intelligent systems, but also in how we advance the modularity of multi-disciplinary systems to tackle fundamental barriers not addressed by the current, evolutionary modeling practices. In this work, we review the recent status of methodologies and techniques related to the construction of digital twins. Our aim is to provide a detailed coverage of the current challenges and enabling technologies along with recommendations and reflections for various stakeholders.

A non-intrusive reduced order modeling framework for quasi-geostrophic turbulence

In this study, we present a non-intrusive reduced order modeling (ROM) framework for large-scale quasi-stationary systems. The framework proposed herein exploits the time series prediction capability of long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network such that: (i) in the training phase, the LSTM model is trained on the modal coefficients extracted from the high-resolution data using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) transform, and (ii) in the testing phase, the trained model predicts the modal coefficients for the total time recursively based on the initial time history. To illustrate the predictive performance of the proposed framework, the mean flow fields and time series response of the field values are reconstructed from the predicted modal coefficients by using an inverse POD transform. As a representative benchmark test case, we consider a two-dimensional quasi-geostrophic (QG) ocean circulation model which, in general, displays an enormous range of fluctuating spatial and temporal scales. We first illustrate that the conventional Galerkin projection based ROM of such systems requires a high number of POD modes to obtain a stable flow physics. In addition, ROM-GP does not seem to capture the intermittent bursts appearing in the dynamics of the first few most energetic modes. However, the proposed non-intrusive ROM framework based on LSTM (ROM-LSTM) yields a stable solution even for a small number of POD modes. We also observe that the ROM-LSTM model is able to capture quasi-periodic intermittent bursts accurately, and yields a stable and accurate mean flow dynamics using the time history of a few previous time states, denoted as the lookback time-window in this paper. Our findings suggest that the proposed ROM framework is capable of predicting noisy nonlinear fluid flows in an extremely efficient way compared to the conventional projection based ROM.

Data-driven deconvolution for large eddy simulations of Kraichnan turbulence

In this article, we demonstrate the use of artificial neural networks as optimal maps which are utilized for convolution and deconvolution of coarse-grained fields to account for sub-grid scale turbulence effects. We demonstrate that an effective eddy-viscosity is predicted by our purely data-driven large eddy simulation framework without explicit utilization of phenomenological arguments. In addition, our data-driven framework precludes the knowledge of true sub-grid stress information during the training phase due to its focus on estimating an effective filter and its inverse so that grid-resolved variables may be related to direct numerical simulation data statistically. The proposed predictive framework is also combined with a statistical truncation mechanism for ensuring numerical realizability in an explicit formulation. Through this we seek to unite structural and functional modeling strategies for modeling non-linear partial differential equations using reduced degrees of freedom. Both a priori and a posteriori results are shown for a two-dimensional decaying turbulence case in addition to a detailed description of validation and testing. A hyperparameter sensitivity study also shows that the proposed dual network framework simplifies learning complexity and is viable with exceedingly simple network architectures. Our findings indicate that the proposed framework approximates a robust and stable sub-grid closure which compares favorably to the Smagorinsky and Leith hypotheses for capturing the theoretical $k^{-3}$ scaling in Kraichnan turbulence.

Sub-grid modelling for two-dimensional turbulence using neural networks

In this investigation, a data-driven turbulence closure framework is introduced and deployed for the sub-grid modelling of Kraichnan turbulence. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the fact that snapshots from high-fidelity numerical data are used to inform artificial neural networks for predicting the turbulence source term through localized grid-resolved information. In particular, our proposed methodology successfully establishes a map between inputs given by stencils of the vorticity and the streamfunction along with information from two well-known eddy-viscosity kernels. Through this we predict the sub-grid vorticity forcing in a temporally and spatially dynamic fashion. Our study is both a-priori and a-posteriori in nature. In the former, we present an extensive hyper-parameter optimization analysis in addition to learning quantification through probability density function based validation of sub-grid predictions. In the latter, we analyse the performance of our framework for flow evolution in a classical decaying two-dimensional turbulence test case in the presence of errors related to temporal and spatial discretization. Statistical assessments in the form of angle-averaged kinetic energy spectra demonstrate the promise of the proposed methodology for sub-grid quantity inference. In addition, it is also observed that some measure of a-posteriori error must be considered during optimal model selection for greater accuracy. The results in this article thus represent a promising development in the formalization of a framework for generation of heuristic-free turbulence closures from data.

Fast divergence-conforming reduced basis methods for steady Navier-Stokes flow

Reduced-basis methods (RB methods or RBMs) form one of the most promising techniques to deliver numerical solutions of parametrized PDEs in real-time performance with reasonable accuracy. For incompressible flow problems, RBMs based on LBB stable velocity-pressure spaces do not generally inherit the stability of the underlying high-fidelity model and, instead, additional stabilization techniques must be introduced. One way of bypassing the loss of LBB stability in the RBM is to inflate the velocity space with supremizer modes. This however deteriorates the performance of the RBM in the performance-critical online stage, as additional DOFs must be introduced to retain stability, while these DOFs do not effectively contribute to accuracy of the RB approximation. In this work we consider a velocity-only RB approximation, exploiting a solenoidal velocity basis. The solenoidal reduced basis emerges directly from the high-fidelity velocity solutions in the offline stage. By means of Piola transforms, the solenoidality of the velocity space is retained under geometric transformations, making the proposed RB method suitable also for the investigation of geometric parameters. To ensure exact solenoidality of the high-fidelity velocity solutions that constitute the RB, we consider approximations based on divergence-conforming compatible B-splines. We show that the velocity-only RB method leads to a significant improvement in computational efficiency in the online stage, and that the pressure solution can be recovered a posteriori at negligible extra cost. We illustrate the solenoidal RB approach by modeling steady two-dimensional Navier-Stokes flow around a NACA0015 airfoil at various angles of attack.
