Fang, Lidong, Ge, Pei, Zhang, Lei, E, Weinan, Lei, Huan
A long standing problem in the modeling of non-Newtonian hydrodynamics of polymeric flows is the availability of reliable and interpretable hydrodynamic models that faithfully encode the underlying micro-scale polymer dynamics. The main complication arises from the long polymer relaxation time, the complex molecular structure and heterogeneous interaction. DeePN$^2$, a deep learning-based non-Newtonian hydrodynamic model, has been proposed and has shown some success in systematically passing the micro-scale structural mechanics information to the macro-scale hydrodynamics for suspensions with simple polymer conformation and bond potential. The model retains a multi-scaled nature by mapping the polymer configurations into a set of symmetry-preserving macro-scale features. The extended constitutive laws for these macro-scale features can be directly learned from the kinetics of their micro-scale counterparts. In this paper, we develop DeePN$^2$ using more complex micro-structural models. We show that DeePN$^2$ can faithfully capture the broadly overlooked viscoelastic differences arising from the specific molecular structural mechanics without human intervention.
Machine learning based non-Newtonian fluid model with molecular fidelity
We introduce a machine-learning-based framework for constructing continuum non-Newtonian fluid dynamics model directly from a micro-scale description. Polymer solution is used as an example to demonstrate the essential ideas. To faithfully retain molecular fidelity, we establish a micro-macro correspondence via a set of encoders for the micro-scale polymer configurations and their macro-scale counterparts, a set of nonlinear conformation tensors. The dynamics of these conformation tensors can be derived from the micro-scale model and the relevant terms can be parametrized using machine learning. The final model, named the deep non-Newtonian model (DeePN$^2$), takes the form of conventional non-Newtonian fluid dynamics models, with a new form of the objective tensor derivative. Numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of DeePN$^2$.
