Learning Hidden Physics and System Parameters with Deep Operator Networks

Discovering hidden physical laws and identifying governing system parameters from sparse observations are central challenges in computational science and engineering. Existing data-driven methods, such as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) and sparse regression, are limited by their need for extensive retraining, sensitivity to noise, or inability to generalize across families of partial differential equations (PDEs). In this work, we introduce two complementary frameworks based on deep operator networks (DeepONet) to address these limitations. The first, termed the Deep Hidden Physics Operator (DHPO), extends hidden-physics modeling into the operator-learning paradigm, enabling the discovery of unknown PDE terms across diverse equation families by identifying the mapping of unknown physical operators. The second is a parameter identification framework that combines pretrained DeepONet with physics-informed inverse modeling to infer system parameters directly from sparse sensor data. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches on benchmark problems, including the Reaction-Diffusion system, Burgers' equation, the 2D Heat equation, and 2D Helmholtz equation. Across all cases, the proposed methods achieve high accuracy, with relative solution errors on the order of O(10^-2) and parameter estimation errors on the order of O(10^-3), even under limited and noisy observations. By uniting operator learning with physics-informed modeling, this work offers a unified and data-efficient framework for physics discovery and parameter identification, paving the way for robust inverse modeling in complex dynamical systems.

A novel data generation scheme for surrogate modelling with deep operator networks

Operator-based neural network architectures such as DeepONets have emerged as a promising tool for the surrogate modeling of physical systems. In general, towards operator surrogate modeling, the training data is generated by solving the PDEs using techniques such as Finite Element Method (FEM). The computationally intensive nature of data generation is one of the biggest bottleneck in deploying these surrogate models for practical applications. In this study, we propose a novel methodology to alleviate the computational burden associated with training data generation for DeepONets. Unlike existing literature, the proposed framework for data generation does not use any partial differential equation integration strategy, thereby significantly reducing the computational cost associated with generating training dataset for DeepONet. In the proposed strategy, first, the output field is generated randomly, satisfying the boundary conditions using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). From the output field, the input source field can be calculated easily using finite difference techniques. The proposed methodology can be extended to other operator learning methods, making the approach widely applicable. To validate the proposed approach, we employ the heat equations as the model problem and develop the surrogate model for numerous boundary value problems.

A novel framework for generalization of deep hidden physics models

Modelling of systems where the full system information is unknown is an oft encountered problem for various engineering and industrial applications, as it's either impossible to consider all the complex physics involved or simpler models are considered to keep within the limits of the available resources. Recent advances in greybox modelling like the deep hidden physics models address this space by combining data and physics. However, for most real-life applications, model generalizability is a key issue, as retraining a model for every small change in system inputs and parameters or modification in domain configuration can render the model economically unviable. In this work we present a novel enhancement to the idea of hidden physics models which can generalize for changes in system inputs, parameters and domains. We also show that this approach holds promise in system discovery as well and helps learn the hidden physics for the changed system inputs, parameters and domain configuration.

Stability analysis and error estimates of a projection based variational multiscale method for Oseen equations in moving domains

Stability and error estimate for the Oseen equations in a projection based variational setup has been derived in this paper. The use of Geometric Conservation Law (GCL) provides unconditional stability whereas without using GCL we have a conditional scheme which imposes restriction on the time step. Further using the stability results derived, we make the first order error estimate using a backward Euler time discretization scheme.
