Project: Geometry-aware and Deep Learning-based Cyberinfrastructure for Scalable Modeling of Solids and Fluids
Many phenomena in solid and fluid mechanics are modeled via complex partial differential equations (PDEs). Since solving these PDEs via traditional numerical methods is prohibitively expensive, emulators such as deep neural networks (DNNs) are increasingly employed to approximate PDE solutions. While significant effort has been expended in this direction, existing technologies provide expensive solutions that are not transferable across different applications or scalable to complex PDEs. This project aims to address these limitations using a divide and conquer approach.
