• Abstract: The resolution of the Poisson equation is usually one of the most computationally intensive steps for incompressible fluid solvers. Lately, Deep Learning, and especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), has been introduced to solve this equation, leading to significant inference time reduction at the cost of a lack of guarantee on the accuracy of the solution. This drawback might lead to inaccuracies and potentially unstable simulations. It also makes impossible a fair assessment of the CNN speedup, for instance, when changing the network architecture, since evaluated at different error levels. To circumvent this issue, a hybrid strategy is developed, which couples a CNN with a traditional iterative solver to ensure a user-defined accuracy level. The CNN hybrid method is tested on two flow cases, consisting of a variable-density plume with and without obstacles, demostrating remarkable generalization capabilities, ensuring both the accuracy and stability of the simulations. The error distribution of the predictions using several network architectures is further investigated. Results show that the threshold of the hybrid strategy defined as the mean divergence of the velocity field is ensuring a consistent physical behavior of the CNN-based hybrid computational strategy. This strategy allows a systematic evaluation of the CNN performance at the same accuracy level for various network architectures. In particular, the importance of incorporating multiple scales in the network architecture is demonstrated, since improving both the accuracy and the inference performance compared with feedforward CNN architectures, as these networks can provide solutions 1 10-25 faster than traditional iterative solvers.
