Harnessing Equivariance: Modeling Turbulence with Graph Neural Networks
- 将流体方程的旋转、反射、平移对称性嵌入图神经网络架构
- 在各向同性湍流和通道流中均实现高精度模拟,近壁区与外区行为分明
- 结合强化学习训练,既保物理规律又兼容传统大涡模拟框架
本文提出一种基于图神经网络(GNN)的新方法,用于大涡模拟(LES)中的湍流建模,将纳维-斯托克斯方程的离散旋转、反射和平移对称性嵌入模型结构。同时,推导出合适的不变输入与输出空间,使GNN模型可无缝集成至LES框架,实现对称性保持的模拟。在两个经典测试案例——各向同性湍流(HIT)和湍流通道流中,通过强化学习(RL)在实际仿真中成功训练了GNN模型,确保其与底层LES形式化及离散化一致。在HIT案例中,所提GNN基LES方案在实际模拟中恢复了旋转与反射等变性,精度达机器精度;稳定性与准确性与不遵守对称性的机器学习模型相当。该策略同样适用于湍流通道流,模型成功学习复杂流动物理,准确恢复湍流统计量与雷诺应力,并展现出近壁区与外区不同的分区域建模行为。结果表明,该方法在结合LES与强化学习的背景下,展现了图神经网络在湍流建模中的潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
This work proposes a novel methodology for turbulence modeling in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), which embeds the discrete rotational, reflectional and translational symmetries of the Navier-Stokes equations into the model architecture. In addition, suitable invariant input and output spaces are derived that allow the GNN models to be embedded seamlessly into the LES framework to obtain a symmetry-preserving simulation setup. The suitability of the proposed approach is investigated for two canonical test cases: Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence (HIT) and turbulent channel flow. For both cases, GNN models are trained successfully in actual simulations using Reinforcement Learning (RL) to ensure that the models are consistent with the underlying LES formulation and discretization. It is demonstrated for the HIT case that the resulting GNN-based LES scheme recovers rotational and reflectional equivariance up to machine precision in actual simulations. At the same time, the stability and accuracy remain on par with non-symmetry-preserving machine learning models that fail to obey these properties. The same modeling strategy translates well to turbulent channel flow, where the GNN model successfully learns the more complex flow physics and is able to recover the turbulent statistics and Reynolds stresses. It is shown that the GNN model learns a zonal modeling strategy with distinct behaviors in the near-wall and outer regions. The proposed approach thus demonstrates the potential of GNNs for turbulence modeling, especially in the context of LES and RL.
