Abstract

Partitioned methods allow one to build a simulation capability for coupled problems by reusing existing single-component codes. In so doing, partitioned methods can shorten code development and validation times for multiphysics and multiscale applications. In this work, we consider a scenario in which one or more of the "codes" being coupled are projection-based reduced order models (ROMs), introduced to lower the computational cost associated with a particular component. We simulate this scenario by considering a model interface problem that is discretized independently on two non-overlapping subdomains. We then formulate a partitioned scheme for this problem that allows the coupling between a ROM "code" for one of the subdomains with a finite element model (FEM) or ROM "code" for the other subdomain. The ROM "codes" are constructed by performing proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) on a snapshot ensemble to obtain a low-dimensional reduced order basis, followed by a Galerkin projection onto this basis. The ROM and/or FEM "codes" on each subdomain are then coupled using a Lagrange multiplier representing the interface flux. To partition the resulting monolithic problem, we first eliminate the flux through a dual Schur complement. Application of an explicit time integration scheme to the transformed monolithic problem decouples the subdomain equations, allowing their independent solution for the next time step. We show numerical results that demonstrate the proposed method's efficacy in achieving both ROM-FEM and ROM-ROM coupling.

PDEformer-2: A Versatile Foundation Model for Two-Dimensional Partial Differential Equations

Partial differential equations (PDEs) play a central role in describing many physical phenomena. Various scientific and engineering applications demand a versatile and differentiable PDE solver that can quickly generate solutions with adequate accuracy, and limitations of the traditional solvers and specialized neural operators motivate the development of foundation models for solving PDEs. This paper introduces PDEformer-2, a versatile foundation model for two-dimensional PDEs. Based on our previous one-dimensional PDEformer-1 model, PDEformer-2 receives the PDE form as network input via computational graph representation, which has the flexibility to encode most common PDEs. The mesh-free predicted solutions can be directly queried at arbitrary spatio-temporal coordinates. A large (40TB) diverse dataset is employed to pretrain the current model, making it capable of simultaneously addressing PDEs with different symbolic forms, domain shapes, boundary conditions, number of variables, and time-dependency. Accurate zero-shot prediction is allowed for PDEs that resemble the pretraining ones. When adapted to new unseen PDEs, PDEformer-2 demonstrates faster learning than many specialized models, and has smaller errors given limited (less than 100) samples. Additionally, PDEformer-2 can be employed in the inverse problems thanks to its fast and differentiable nature and produces reasonable results in our experiments to recover coefficient scalars and fields of a PDE.

A divergence-free parametric finite element method for 3D Stokes equations on curved domains

The Stokes equations play an important role in the incompressible flow simulation. In this paper, a novel divergence-free parametric mixed finite element method is proposed for solving three-dimensional Stokes equations on domains with piecewise smooth boundaries. The flow velocity and pressure are discretized with high-order parametric Brezzi-Douglas-Marini elements and volume elements, respectively, on curved tetrahedral meshes. Utilizing the interior-penalty discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) technique, we prove the inf-sup condition for the mixed finite element pair, and high-order optimal error estimates in the energy norm, with the help of the extension and transformation of the true solution to computational domain. Moreover, the discrete velocity is exactly divergence-free, meaning that $\Div\Bu_h=0$ holds in the curved computational domain. Numerical experiments are conducted to support the theoretical analyses.

A Reynolds- and Hartmann-semirobust hybrid method for magnetohydrodynamics

We propose and analyze a new method for the unsteady incompressible magnetohydrodynamics equations on convex domains with hybrid approximations of both vector-valued and scalar-valued fields. The proposed method is convection-semirobust, meaning that, for sufficiently smooth solutions, one can derive a priori estimates for the velocity and the magnetic field that do not depend on the inverse of the diffusion coefficients. This is achieved while at the same time providing relevant additional features, namely an improved order of convergence for the (asymptotic) diffusion-dominated regime, a small stencil (owing to the absence of inter-element penalty terms), and the possibility to significantly reduce the size of the algebraic problems through static condensation. The theoretical results are confirmed by a complete panel of numerical experiments.
