Neural Ordinary Differential Equations for Data-Driven Reduced Order Modeling of Environmental Hydrodynamics
Model reduction for fluid flow simulation continues to be of great interest across a number of scientific and engineering fields. Here, we explore the use of Neural Ordinary Differential Equations, a recently introduced family of continuous-depth, differentiable networks (Chen et al 2018), as a way to propagate latent-space dynamics in reduced order models. We compare their behavior with two classical non-intrusive methods based on proper orthogonal decomposition and radial basis function interpolation as well as dynamic mode decomposition. The test problems we consider include incompressible flow around a cylinder as well as real-world applications of shallow water hydrodynamics in riverine and estuarine systems. Our findings indicate that Neural ODEs provide an elegant framework for stable and accurate evolution of latent-space dynamics with a promising potential of extrapolatory predictions. However, in order to facilitate their widespread adoption for large-scale systems, significant effort needs to be directed at accelerating their training times. This will enable a more comprehensive exploration of the hyperparameter space for building generalizable Neural ODE approximations over a wide range of system dynamics.
