• Abstract: Boundary conditions (BCs) are a key component in every Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN). By defining the solution to partial differential equations (PDEs) along domain boundaries, BCs constrain the underlying boundary value problem (BVP) that a PINN tries to approximate. Without them, unique PDE solutions may not exist and finding approximations with PINNs would be a challenging, if not impossible task. This study examines how soft loss-based and exact distance function-based BC imposition approaches differ when applied in PINNs. The well known variable coefficient Poisson equation serves as the target PDE for all PINN models trained in this work. Besides comparing BC imposition approaches, the goal of this work is to also provide resources on how to implement these PINNs in practice. To this end, Keras models with Tensorflow backend as well as a Python notebook with code examples and step-by-step explanations on how to build soft/exact BC PINNs are published alongside this review.

• Predictive Limitations of Physics-Informed Neural Networks in Vortex Shedding [0.0]
  We look at the flow around a 2D cylinder and find that data-free PINNs are unable to predict vortex shedding. Data-driven PINN exhibits vortex shedding only while the training data is available, but reverts to the steady state solution when the data flow stops. The distribution of the Koopman eigenvalues on the complex plane suggests that PINN is numerically dispersive and diffusive.

  Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have demonstrated promise in solving forward and inverse problems involving partial differential equations.

We consider a variety of PDEs such as the Elasticity, Plasticity, Euler's, and Navier-Stokes equations, and both forward modeling and inverse design problems.
