A physics-informed neural network (PINN) framework is developed for detecting hidden solid boundaries and reconstructing flow fields from sparse observations in fluid mechanics.
The PINN framework enforces no-slip/no-penetration boundary conditions and conservation laws of fluid dynamics while inferring the presence, shape, and motion of solid boundaries.
The method successfully reconstructs flow fields and identifies solid boundaries using partial flow field data in various scenarios, including incompressible and compressible flows.
The proposed method demonstrates robustness and versatility, making it suitable for applications with limited data availability.
