• Abstract summary: This paper presents a novel methodology for permeability prediction from micro-CT scans of geological rock samples. The training data set for CNNs dedicated to permeability prediction consists of permeability labels that are typically generated by classical lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) We instead perform direct numerical simulation (DNS) by solving the stationary Stokes equation in an efficient and distributed-parallel manner.

• Abstract: In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have experienced an increasing interest for their ability to perform fast approximation of effective hydrodynamic parameters in porous media research and applications. This paper presents a novel methodology for permeability prediction from micro-CT scans of geological rock samples. The training data set for CNNs dedicated to permeability prediction consists of permeability labels that are typically generated by classical lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM) that simulate the flow through the pore space of the segmented image data. We instead perform direct numerical simulation (DNS) by solving the stationary Stokes equation in an efficient and distributed-parallel manner. As such, we circumvent the convergence issues of LBM that frequently are observed on complex pore geometries, and therefore, improve on the generality and accuracy of our training data set. Using the DNS-computed permeabilities, a physics-informed CNN PhyCNN) is trained by additionally providing a tailored characteristic quantity of the pore space. More precisely, by exploiting the connection to flow problems on a graph representation of the pore space, additional information about confined structures is provided to the network in terms of the maximum flow value, which is the key innovative component of our workflow. As a result, unprecedented prediction accuracy and robustness are observed for a variety of sandstone samples from archetypal rock formations.

  Entropy and mutual information in neural networks provide rich information on the learning process. We leverage data geometry to access the underlying manifold and reliably compute these information-theoretic measures.

  Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) is a non-invasive technique widely used in medicine and engineering to measure the velocity field of a fluid. Previous studies have required the shape of the boundary (for example, a blood vessel) to be known a priori. We present a physics-informed neural network that instead uses the noisy MRV data alone to infer the most likely boundary shape and de-noised velocity field.

  We investigate the use of PINNs surrogate modeling for turbulent Rayleigh-B'enard convection flows. We show how it comes to play as a regularization close to the training boundaries which are zones of poor accuracy for standard PINNs. The predictive accuracy of the surrogate over the entire half a billion DNS coordinates yields errors for all flow variables ranging between [0.3% -- 4%] in the relative L 2 norm.
