Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have drawn attention in recent years in engineering problems due to their effectiveness and ability to tackle problems without generating complex meshes. PINNs use automatic differentiation to evaluate differential operators in conservation laws and hence do not need a discretization scheme. Using this ability, PINNs satisfy governing laws of physics in the loss function without any training data. In this work, we solve various incompressible thermal convection problems, and compare the results with numerical or analytical results. To evaluate the accuracy of the model we solve a channel problem with an analytical solution. The model is highly dependent on the weights of individual loss terms. Increasing the weight of boundary condition loss improves the accuracy if the flow inside the domain is not complicated. To assess the performance of different type of networks and ability to capture the Neumann boundary conditions, we solve a thermal convection problem in a closed enclosure in which the flow occurs due to the temperature gradients on the boundaries. The simple fully connected network performs well in thermal convection problems, and we do not need a Fourier mapping in the network since there is no multiscale behavior. Lastly, we consider steady and unsteady partially blocked channel problems resembling industrial applications to power electronics and show that the method can be applied to transient problems as well.

Physics informed neural networks for computational fluid dynamics Aygün, Atakan; Karakuş, Ali; Maulik, Romit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2023-1-17) In this work, we use physics-informed neural networks (PINN) to model the problems generally used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Since PINN does not need any discretization scheme or mesh generation, this approach is easier to implement compared to conventional numerical methods. In the context of CFD problems, the effect of network parameters is shown in the convergence and the accuracy of the solution. The solutions to forward problems are chosen with simple geometries since as the nonlinearity in...
Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Mesh Deformation with Exact Boundary Enforcement Aygün, Atakan; Karakuş, Ali (2023-03-03) In this work, we have applied physics-informed neural networks (PINN) for solving mesh deformation problems. We used the collocation PINN method to capture the new positions of the vertex nodes while preserving the connectivity information. We use linear elasticity equations for mesh deformation. To prevent vertex collisions or edge overlap, the mesh movement in this work is conducted in steps with relatively small movements. For moving boundary problems, the exact position of the boundary is essential for ...
Prediction of Nonlinear Drift Demands for Buildings with Recurrent Neural Networks Kocamaz, Korhan; Binici, Barış; Tuncay, Kağan (2021-09-08) Application of deep learning algorithms to the problems of structural engineering is an emerging research field. Inthis study, a deep learning algorithm, namely recurrent neural network (RNN), is applied to tackle a problemrelated to the assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. Inter-storey drift ratio profile of a structure is a quiteimportant parameter while conducting assessment procedures. In general, procedures require a series of timeconsuming nonlinear dynamic analysis. In this study, an extensiv...
Numerical investigation of characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients for missile models Kayabaşı, İskander; Kurtuluş, Dilek Funda; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012) In this thesis the characteristics of pitch and roll damping coefficients of missile models are investigated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. Experimental data of NACA0012 airfoil, Basic Finner (BF) and Modified Basic Finner (MBF) models are used for validation and verification studies. Numerical computations are performed from subsonic to supersonic flow regimes. Grid refinement and turbulence model selection studies are conducted before starting the dynamic motion simulations. Numer...
STABILITY OF CONTROL FORCES IN REDUNDANT MULTIBODY SYSTEMS IDER, SK (1996-01-03) In this paper inverse dynamics of redundant multibody systems using a minimum number of control forces is formulated. It is shown that the control forces and the task accelerations may become noncausal at certain configurations, yielding the dynamical equation set of the system to be singular. For a given set of tasks, each different set of actuators leads to a different system motion and also to different singular configurations. To avoid the singularities in the numerical solution, the dynamical equations...
