A Randomized PDE Energy driven Iterative Framework for Efficient and Stable PDE Solutions

Efficient and stable solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) is central to scientific and engineering applications, yet existing numerical solvers rely heavily on matrix based discretizations, while learning based methods require costly training and often suffer from limited generalization. In this work, we proposes a PDE energy driven framework that solves PDEs through physically constrained diffusion iterations, without relying on classical matrix based finite element assembly or data driven neural network training. The proposed method evolves arbitrary random initial fields through PDE energy driven implicit iterations combined with Gaussian smoothing, while strictly enforcing boundary conditions at each iteration. The proposed formulation is applied to representative one dimensional Poisson, Heat, and viscous Burgers equations, covering both steady state and transient problems. Numerical results demonstrate stable convergence to the unique physical solution from random initializations, with accurate resolution of sharp gradients and controlled Mean Squared Error (MSE) across a wide range of discretization parameters. Detailed comparisons with analytical solutions indicate that the framework achieves competitive accuracy and stability. Overall, the proposed framework provides a fast, flexible, and physically consistent alternative to traditional numerical solvers, offering a potential pathway for scalable PDE solutions in both research and engineering applications.

Based on the Karman-Howarth equation in 3D incompressible fluid, a new isotropic turbulence scale evolution equation and its related theory progress. The present results indicate that the energy cascading process has remarkable similarities with the determinisitic construction rules of the isotonic oscillators in quantum mechanics.

A new class of exact solution of two-dimensional incompressible vortex motion

At present in the fluid mechanics, mostly one like to use the vortex as a basic physical quantity, such that some exact solutions is based on the vorticity evolution equation. For the vortex flow problem with axisymmetry, it is well known that there exists in the circulation as a mechanical system of basic physical quantities. In this paper, from the basic dynamic equation of the mechanical system, the self-similar solution, eigenvalue system into a self- consistent, new exact solutions of the two-dimensional circular symmetric vortex flow are obtained, and some further comparison are made with the known exact solutions. Key words: vortex motion, exact solution, eigenvalue system

Nonlinear dynamical systems and bistability in linearly forced isotropic turbulence

In this letter, we present an extensive study of the linearly forced isotropic turbulence. By using analytical method, we identify two parametric choices, of which they seem to be new as far as our knowledge goes. We prove that the underlying nonlinear dynamical system for linearly forced isotropic turbulence is the general case of a cubic Lienard equation with linear damping. We also discuss a Fokker-Planck approach to this new dynamical system,which is bistable and exhibits two asymmetric and asymptotically stable stationary probability densities.

Integrability and Hamiltonian system in isotropic turbulence

We present developments of the Hamiltonian approach to problems of the freely decay of isotropic turbulence, and also consider specific applications of the modified Prelle-Singer procedure to isotropic turbulence. It demonstrates that a nonlinear second order ordinary differential equation is intimately related to the self-preserving solution of Karman-Howarth equation, admitting time-dependent first integrals and also proving the nonstandard Hamiltonian structure, as well as the Liouville sense of integrability.

Probability Distribution of a Passive Scalar in Isotropic Turbulence

In this letter, we present developments of the Hamiltonian approach to problems of the probability distribution for a passive scalar in isotropic turbulence, and also considers specific applications of the modified Prelle-Singer procedure to turbulence models. The following key questions are discussed and solved: what is the general dynamical structure of the resulting scale equation permitted by passive scalar turbulence models? What are the general requirements of the relations between canonical variables and the canonical variabes representation for turbulence by using canonical variables? It is shown that the existence of the Haniltonian representation in turbulence is a privilege of only turbulence systems for which the variational principle of least action is impossible The master equation of the probability distribution of a passive scalar in isotropic turbulence can also be deduced explicitly.

Statistical theory of isotropic turbulence Part IV: multiscales and cascade

This paper is the forth part of our series of work, is devoted to the analysis on the multiscales and cascade aspects of the statistical theory of isotropic turbulence based on the new Sedov-type solution. In this paper, we use the explicit map method to analyse the nonlinear dynamical behaviour for cascade in isotorpic turbulence. This deductive scale analysis is shown to provide the first visual evidence of the celebrated Richardson cascade, and reveals in partcular its multiscale character. The results also indicate that the energy cascading process has remarkable similarities with the determinisitic construction rules of the logistic map. Cascade of period-doubling bifurcations have been seen in this isotropic turbuent systems that exhibit chaotic behaviour. The 'cascade' appears as an infinite sequence of period-doubling bifurcations.

Multiscales and cascade in isotropic turbulence

The central problem of fully developed turbulence is the energy cascading process. It has revisited all attempts at a full physical understanding or mathematical formulation. The main reason for this failure are related to the large hierarchy of scales involved, the highly nonlinear character inherent in the Navier-Stokes equations, and the spatial intermittency of the dynamically active regions. Richardson has described the interplay between large and small scales and the phenomena so described are known as the Richardson cascade. This local interplay also forms the basis of a theory by Kolmogorov. In this letter, we use the explicit map method to analyze the nonlinear dynamical behavior for cascade in isotropic turbulence. This deductive scale analysis is shown to provide the first visual evidence of the celebrated Richardson cascade, and reveals in particular its multiscale character. The results also indicate that the energy cascading process has remarkable similarities with the deterministic construction rules of the logistic map. Cascade of period-doubling bifurcations have been seen in this isotropic turbulent systems that exhibit chaotic behavior. The `cascade' appears as an infinite sequence of period-doubling bifurcations.

Symmetry and Hamiltonian structure of the scaling equation in isotropic turbulence

The assumption of similarity and self-preservation, which permits an analytical determination of the energy decay in isotropic turbulence, has played an important role in the development of turbulence theory for more than half a century. Sedov (1944), who first found an ingenious way to obtain two equations from one. Nonethless, it appears that this problem has never been reinvestigated in depth subsequent to this earlier work. In the present paper, such an analysis is carried out, yielding a much more complete picture of self-preservation isotropic turbulence. Based on these exact solutions, some physically significant consequences of recent advances in the theory of self-preserved homogenous statistical solution of the Navier-Stokes equations are presented. New results could be obtained for the analysis on turbulence features, such as the scaling behavior, the spectrum, and also the large scale dynamics. The general energy spectra and their behavior in different wave number range are investigated. This letter only focus on the scaling equation.

Large scale dynamics in two-dimensional turbulence

We consider freely decaying two-dimensional isotropic turbulence. It is usually assumed that, in such turbulence, the energy spectrum at small wave number, takes the form, where is the two-dimensional version of Loitsyansky's integral. In this paper, we developed a simple model for large scale dynamics of free decay two-dimensional turbulence based on the statistical solution of Navier-Stokes equation. We provide one possible explanation for the large scale dynamics in two-dimensional turbulence.

Logistic map and micro-structure of isotropic turbulent flow

ONE of the main goals in the development of theory of chaotic dynamical system has been to make progress in understanding of turbulence. The attempts to related turbulence to chaotic motion got strong impetus from the celebrated paper by Ruelle and Takens . Considerable success has been achieved mainly in the area: the onset of turbulence. For fully developed turbulence, many questions remain unanswered. The aim of this letter is to show that there are dynamical systems that are much simpler than the Navier-Stokes equations but that can still have turbulent states and for which many concepts developed in the theory of dynamical systems can be successfully applied. In this connection we advocate a broader use of the universal properties of a wide range of isotropic turbulence phenomena. Even for the case of fully developed turbulence, which contains an extreme range of relevant length scales, it is possible, by using the present model, to reproduce a surprising variety of relevant features, such as multifractal cascade, intermittency. This letter reverts to possible applications of the Navier-Stokes equations to studies of the nature of turbulence.

Entropy and weak solutions in the thermal model for the compressible Euler equations

Among the existing models for compressible fluids, the one by Kataoka and Tsutahara (KT model, Phys. Rev. E 69, 056702, 2004) has a simple and rigorous theoretical background. The drawback of this KT model is that it can cause numerical instability if the local Mach number exceeds 1. The precise mechanism of this instability has not yet been clarified. In this paper, we derive entropy functions whose local equilibria are suitable to recover the Euler-like equations in the framework of the lattice Boltzmann method for the KT model. Numerical examples are also given, which are consistent with the above theoretical arguments, and show that the entropy condition is not fully guaranteed in KT model. The negative entropy may be the inherent cause for the non-physical oscillations in the vicinity of the shock. In contrast to these Karlin's microscopic entropy approach, the corresponding subsidiary entropy condition in the LBM calculation could also be deduced explicitly from the macroscopic version, which provides some insights on the numerical instability of the lattice Boltzmann model for shock calculation.
