Data-driven methods are recently emerging as a promising alternative in this domain. They outperform conventional methods on coarser grids but diverge with grid refinement. Furthermore, unlike conventional methods, data-driven methods are sensitive to coordinate system and sign conventions, thus often fail to capture basic symmetry patterns in interfaces. The present work proposes a new data-driven strategy which conserves the symmetries in a cost-effective way and delivers consistent results over a wide range of grids. The method is based on artificial neural networks with deep multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture which read volume fraction fields on regular grids. The anti-symmetries are preserved with no additional cost by employing a neural network model with input normalization, odd-symmetric activation functions and bias-free neurons. The symmetries are further conserved by height-function inspired rotations and averaging over several different orientations. The new symmetry-preserving MLP model is implemented into a flow solver (OpenFOAM) and tested against conventional schemes in the literature. It shows superior performance compared to its standard counterpart and has similar accuracy and convergence properties with the state-of-the-art conventional method despite using smaller stencil. | Source Title: | Journal of Computational Physics | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/241687 | ISSN: | 0021-9991 1090-2716 |
