• Abstract: Uncertainty quantification (UQ) of subsurface two-phase flow usually requires numerous executions of forward simulations under varying conditions. In this work, a novel coupled theory-guided neural network (TgNN) based surrogate model is built to facilitate computation efficiency under the premise of satisfactory accuracy. The core notion of this proposed method is to bridge two separate blocks on top of an overall network. They underlie the TgNN model in a coupled form, which reflects the coupling nature of pressure and water saturation in the two-phase flow equation. The TgNN model not only relies on labeled data, but also incorporates underlying scientific theory and experiential rules (e.g., governing equations, stochastic parameter fields, boundary and initial conditions, well conditions, and expert knowledge) as additional components into the loss function. The performance of the TgNN-based surrogate model for two-phase flow problems is tested by different numbers of labeled data and collocation points, as well as the existence of data noise. The proposed TgNN-based surrogate model offers an effective way to solve the coupled nonlinear two-phase flow problem and demonstrates good accuracy and strong robustness when compared with the purely data-driven surrogate model. By combining the accurate TgNN-based surrogate model with the Monte Carlo method, UQ tasks can be performed at a minimum cost to evaluate statistical quantities. Since the heterogeneity of the random fields strongly impacts the results of the surrogate model, corresponding variance and correlation length are added to the input of the neural network to maintain its predictive capacity. The results show that the TgNN-based surrogate model achieves satisfactory accuracy, stability, and efficiency in UQ problems of subsurface two-phase flow.

  Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is a self assessed estimate of the model error. We examine several machine learning techniques, including both Gaussian processes and a family UQ-augmented neural networks. We evaluate UQ accuracy (distinct from model accuracy) using two metrics: the distribution of normalized residuals on validation data, and the distribution of estimated uncertainties.

  Use of sampling-based approaches such as Markov chain Monte Carlo may become intractable when each likelihood evaluation is computationally expensive. New approaches combining variational inference with normalizing flow are characterized by a computational cost that grows only linearly with the dimensionality of the latent variable space. We propose Normalizing Flow with Adaptive Surrogate (NoFAS), an optimization strategy that alternatively updates the normalizing flow parameters and the weights of a neural network surrogate model.
