用参数化神经网络+有限差分法,让核能仿真快10倍且不用重训。

A Numerical Method for Coupling Parameterized Physics-Informed Neural Networks and FDM for Advanced Thermal-Hydraulic System Simulation

  • 用参数化神经网络直接学流体动量方程解空间,一次训练通用于所有工况。
  • 6个水箱重力排水测试中,水位误差仅7.85e-5米,速度误差3.21e-3米/秒。
  • 无需重新训练或数据,适合快速开展核电事故模拟与不确定性分析。

基于MELCOR等系统级代码的严重事故分析对核安全评估至关重要,但重复仿真计算成本高,制约参数研究与不确定性量化。现有代理模型依赖大量仿真数据,而物理信息神经网络(PINNs)虽可无数据训练,却需每次参数变化都重新训练。本文提出参数化PINN与有限差分法(FDM)耦合的P2F方法,构建针对MELCOR控制体积流体力学/流动路径模块的节点赋值混合框架。在该方法中,参数化节点赋值PINN(NA-PINN)以水位差、初速和时间为输入,学习解流形,使单个训练好的网络可作为动量守恒方程的无数据代理,覆盖所有流动路径而无需重训。该PINN与有限差分法(FDM)求解器耦合,每步时间推进质量守恒方程,保证离散质量精确守恒,同时将迭代非线性动量求解替换为单次前向传播。在六个水箱重力排水场景下验证,名义条件下时间步长Δt=1.0秒时,水位平均绝对误差为7.85×10⁻⁵米,速度平均绝对误差为3.21×10⁻³米/秒。该框架在0.2至1.0秒的时间步范围内保持一致精度,并对五种不同初始条件具有泛化能力,均无需重训或仿真数据。本工作提出了将参数化PINN与FDM集成于核热工水力系统代码框架中的数值耦合方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Severe accident analysis using system-level codes such as MELCOR is indispensable for nuclear safety assessment, yet the computational cost of repeated simulations poses a significant bottleneck for parametric studies and uncertainty quantification. Existing surrogate models accelerate these analyses but depend on large volumes of simulation data, while physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) enable data-free training but must be retrained for every change in problem parameters. This study addresses both limitations by developing the Parameterized PINNs coupled with FDM (P2F) method, a node-assigned hybrid framework for MELCOR's Control Volume Hydrodynamics/Flow Path (CVH/FP) module. In the P2F method, a parameterized Node-Assigned PINN (NA-PINN) accepts the water-level difference, initial velocity, and time as inputs, learning a solution manifold so that a single trained network serves as a data-free surrogate for the momentum conservation equation across all flow paths without retraining. This PINN is coupled with a finite difference method (FDM) solver that advances the mass conservation equation at each time step, ensuring exact discrete mass conservation while replacing the iterative nonlinear momentum solve with a single forward pass. Verification on a six-tank gravity-driven draining scenario yields a water level mean absolute error of $7.85 \times 10^{-5}$ m and a velocity mean absolute error of $3.21 \times 10^{-3}$ m/s under the nominal condition with $Δt = 1.0$ s. The framework maintains consistent accuracy across time steps ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 s and generalizes to five distinct initial conditions, all without retraining or simulation data. This work introduces a numerical coupling methodology for integrating parameterized PINNs with FDM within a nuclear thermal-hydraulic system code framework.
