A Tailored Convolutional Neural Network for Nonlinear Manifold Learning of Computational Physics Data using Unstructured Spatial Discretizations
Post, January 10, 2022 • J. Tencer and K. Potter SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 43(4), A2581–A2613 We propose a nonlinear manifold learning technique based on deep convolutional autoencoders that is appropriate for model order reduction of physical systems in complex geometries. Convolutional neural networks have proven to be highly advantageous for compressing data arising from systems...

Efficient Sampling Methods for Machine Learning Error Models with application to Surrogates of Steady Hypersonic Flows
Post, March 10, 2022 • Elizabeth H. Krath, David S. Ching and Patrick J. Blonigan AIAA 2022-1249 This paper presents an investigation into sampling strategies for reducing the computational expense of creating error models for steady hypersonic flow surrogate models. The error model describes the quantity of interest error between a reduced-order model prediction and a full-order model...

Model Reduction of Hypersonic Aerodynamics with Residual Minimization Techniques
Post, March 10, 2022 • David S. Ching, Patrick J. Blonigan, Francesco Rizzi and Jeffrey A. Fike AIAA 2022-1247 High-fidelity hypersonic aerodynamic simulations require extensive computational resources, hindering their usage in hypersonic vehicle design and uncertainty quantification. Projection-based reduced-order models (ROMs) are a computationally cheaper alternative to full-order simulations that can provide major speedup with marginal loss of accuracy...
