EquiNO: A Physics-Informed Neural Operator for Multiscale Simulations
- 通过正交分解构建无散基函数,硬性满足力学平衡条件
- 相比传统方法提速超8000倍,且在小样本下仍保持高精度
- 适合需要快速多次仿真的工程优化场景,如结构拓扑设计
多尺度问题在物理中普遍存在。高分辨率求解偏微分方程(PDE)进行数值模拟在不确定性量化、重网格和拓扑优化等多查询场景中计算成本过高。为此,数据驱动的代理模型被提出,以黑箱映射替代微观计算。但这类方法通常难以融入微观物理约束,如动量平衡。本文提出平衡神经算子(EquiNO),一种物理信息强约束的PDE代理模型。其通过将解投影到由本征正交分解(POD)获得的无散基函数空间,从构造上确保平衡条件,无需惩罚项或多目标损失函数。与仅通过损失函数弱约束物理规律的变分物理信息神经网络及纯数据驱动算子学习基线对比,所提框架适用于多尺度有限元²(FE²)计算,引入了有限元-算子学习(FE-OL)方法,融合有限元法(FE)与算子学习(OL)。应用于固体力学准静态问题,即使在受限数据集上训练,也得到准确解。结果表明,EquiNO相较传统方法提速超过8000倍,为现有数据驱动代理模型提供了鲁棒且物理解释一致的替代方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Multiscale problems are ubiquitous in physics. Numerical simulations of such problems by solving partial differential equations (PDEs) at high resolution are computationally too expensive for many-query scenarios, such as uncertainty quantification, remeshing applications, and topology optimization. This limitation has motivated the development of data-driven surrogate models, where microscale computations are substituted by black-box mappings between macroscale quantities. While these approaches offer significant speedups, they typically struggle to incorporate microscale physical constraints, such as the balance of linear momentum. In this contribution, we propose the Equilibrium Neural Operator (EquiNO), a physics-informed PDE surrogate in which equilibrium is hard-enforced by construction. EquiNO achieves this by projecting the solution onto a set of divergence-free basis functions obtained via proper orthogonal decomposition (POD), thereby ensuring satisfaction of equilibrium without relying on penalty terms or multi-objective loss functions. We compare EquiNO with variational physics-informed neural and operator networks that enforce physical constraints only weakly through the loss function, as well as with purely data-driven operator-learning baselines. Our framework, applicable to multiscale FE$^{\,2}$ computations, introduces a finite element-operator learning (FE-OL) approach that integrates the finite element (FE) method with operator learning (OL). We apply the proposed methodology to quasi-static problems in solid mechanics and demonstrate that FE-OL yields accurate solutions even when trained on restricted datasets. The results show that EquiNO achieves speedup factors exceeding 8000-fold compared to traditional methods and offers a robust and physically consistent alternative to existing data-driven surrogate models.
