Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Multiphysics Coupling: Application to Conjugate Heat Transfer

Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have emerged as a promising paradigm for modeling complex physical phenomena, offering the potential to handle diverse scenarios to simulate coupled systems. This is a supervised or unsupervised deep learning approach that aims at learning physical laws described by partial differential equations. This report presents an exploration of PINNs through three distinct test cases: heat transfer, and conjugate heat transfer, with forced and natural convection. The investigations reveal PINNs' proficiency in accommodating parameterized resolution, addressing piece-wise constant conditions, and enabling multiphysics coupling. Despite their versatility, challenges emerged, including difficulties in achieving high accuracy, error propagation near singularities, and limitations in scenarios with high Rayleigh values.
