Dr. Sai Nethra Betgeri has developed an innovative artificial intelligence approach, uniting machine learning with physics to solve the advection equation. This equation, fundamental to understanding the movement of heat, pollutants, and waves, is central to fields like weather forecasting and aerospace engineering. By using a physics-informed neural network (PINN) built in PyTorch, the new method delivers faster, more precise solutions to problems that have presented significant challenges. Unlike conventional approaches that rely heavily on data, PINNs incorporate the physics of the problem directly into the AI model. This allows the network to learn solutions while inherently respecting physical laws. The research demonstrates the network’s capacity to accurately model wave-like solutions, function effectively with incomplete or noisy data, and reduce computational requirements. PyTorch’s open-source AI library enabled automatic differentiation, and GPU acceleration ensured efficient training, which is crucial for real-world implementation. This breakthrough promises to revolutionize industries dependent on quick and dependable simulations, such as environmental science, aerospace engineering, and meteorology. Dr. Betgeri intends to apply this approach to address complex and multi-dimensional problems, with the goal of advancing its application to real-world systems. This development reflects the growing trend of merging data-driven AI with the foundational principles of physics.
