• Abstract summary: We present a meta-learning approach to enhance the performance of learned models on out-of-distribution (OoD) samples. Specifically, we set the airflow simulation in CFD over various airfoils as a meta-learning problem, where each set of examples defined on a single airfoil shape is treated as a separate task. We experimentally demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach for improving the OoD generalization performance of learned models.

• Abstract: The field of numerical simulation is of significant importance for the design and management of real-world systems, with partial differential equations (PDEs) being a commonly used mathematical modeling tool. However, solving PDEs remains still a challenge, as commonly used traditional numerical solvers often require high computational costs. As a result, data-driven methods leveraging machine learning (more particularly Deep Learning) algorithms have been increasingly proposed to learn models that can predict solutions to complex PDEs, such as those arising in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). However, these methods are known to suffer from poor generalization performance on out-of-distribution (OoD) samples, highlighting the need for more efficient approaches. To this end, we present a meta-learning approach to enhance the performance of learned models on OoD samples. Specifically, we set the airflow simulation in CFD over various airfoils as a meta-learning problem, where each set of examples defined on a single airfoil shape is treated as a separate task. Through the use of model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML), we learn a meta-learner capable of adapting to new tasks, i.e., previously unseen airfoil shapes, using only a small amount of task-specific data. We experimentally demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach for improving the OoD generalization performance of learned models while maintaining efficiency.
