  • 用PINN计算残差作为网格细化依据,非直接求解。
  • 在1D黏性伯格斯方程上,60自由度误差仅0.021067,优于192自由度均匀网格。
  • 适合需要高精度且局部特征明显的偏微分方程求解场景。

经典有限差分求解器对偏微分方程仍具可靠性,但效率依赖于网格分辨率的分布。当解在尖锐梯度、前缘或振荡区域局部困难时,均匀细化会浪费自由度。本文提出一种混合策略:使用物理信息神经网络(PINN)作为离网残差探测器,而非最终求解器。通过采样域内残差并转换为单元级指标,指导有限差分求解器前的自适应网格细化。在三个基准测试中验证:一维黏性伯格斯方程采用非均匀有限差分求解,基于PINN阈值的细化达到相对 $L^2$ 误差 0.021067,仅需60自由度,而均匀细化需192自由度误差为0.022617,在相同网格规模下误差降低约67.5%。PINN-Dörfler细化表现相似,误差0.021264,使用58自由度。梯度指示器略优,表明该方法有效但非最优。二维和三维人工测试基于非线性薛定谔方程与不可压缩纳维-斯托克斯系统,显示PINN残差可组织结构化细化,优于随机细化,但未始终超越梯度或均匀基线。结果支持将物理信息残差用于有限差分自适应网格细化,保留传统求解器为最终近似引擎。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Classical finite-difference solvers remain reliable tools for partial differential equations, but their efficiency depends on where mesh resolution is placed. Uniform refinement can waste degrees of freedom when solution difficulty is localised near sharp gradients, fronts, oscillations, or constraint-sensitive regions. This paper studies a hybrid strategy in which a physics-informed neural network (PINN) is used not as the final solver, but as an off-grid residual probe for adaptive mesh refinement. The PINN residual is sampled over the domain, converted into cellwise indicators, and used to guide refinement before the final approximation is computed by a finite-difference solver. The method is evaluated on three benchmarks. The main full-solver validation uses the one-dimensional viscous Burgers equation with a nonuniform finite-difference solve on the adapted meshes. PINN-threshold refinement attains final relative $L^2$ error $0.021067$ with $60$ degrees of freedom, compared with $0.022617$ for uniform refinement with $192$ degrees of freedom. At matched mesh size, PINN-threshold reduces the error by about $67.5\%$. PINN-Dörfler refinement gives similar performance, with error $0.021264$ using $58$ degrees of freedom. A gradient indicator remains slightly more accurate, so the result supports usefulness rather than universal superiority. Manufactured 2D and 3D proxy tests, based on a nonlinear Schrödinger equation and an incompressible Navier--Stokes system, show that PINN residuals can organise structured refinement and improve over random refinement, although they do not consistently outperform gradient or uniform baselines. The results support PINN-guided AMR as a residual-indicator strategy for transferring physics-informed diagnostic information into finite-difference mesh adaptation while preserving the classical solver as the final approximation engine.
