• Abstract: The abundance of data has given machine learning considerable momentum in natural sciences and engineering, though modeling of physical processes is often difficult. A particularly tough problem is the efficient representation of geometric boundaries. Triangularized geometric boundaries are well understood and ubiquitous in engineering applications. However, it is notoriously difficult to integrate them into machine learning approaches due to their heterogeneity with respect to size and orientation. In this work, we introduce an effective theory to model particle-boundary interactions, which leads to our new Boundary Graph Neural Networks (BGNNs) that dynamically modify graph structures to obey boundary conditions. The new BGNNs are tested on complex 3D granular flow processes of hoppers, rotating drums and mixers, which are all standard components of modern industrial machinery but still have complicated geometry. BGNNs are evaluated in terms of computational efficiency as well as prediction accuracy of particle flows and mixing entropies. BGNNs are able to accurately reproduce 3D granular flows within simulation uncertainties over hundreds of thousands of simulation timesteps. Most notably, in our experiments, particles stay within the geometric objects without using handcrafted conditions or restrictions.

  Granular flow dynamics is crucial for assessing various geotechnical risks, including landslides and debris flows. Traditional continuum and discrete numerical methods are limited by their computational cost in simulating large-scale systems. We develop a graph neural network-based simulator (GNS) that takes the current state of granular flow and predicts the next state using explicit integration by learning the local interaction laws.

  We introduce the Face Interaction Graph Network (FIGNet) which computes interactions between mesh faces, rather than nodes. FIGNet is around 4x more accurate in simulating complex shape interactions, while also 8x more computationally efficient on sparse, rigid meshes. It can learn frictional dynamics directly from real-world data, and can be more accurate than analytical solvers given modest amounts of training data.
