Deep-HyROMnet: A deep learning-based operator approximation for hyper-reduction of nonlinear parametrized PDEs
share
To speed-up the solution to parametrized differential problems, reduced order models (ROMs) have been developed over the years, including projection-based ROMs such as the reduced-basis (RB) method, deep learning-based ROMs, as well as surrogate models obtained via a machine learning approach. Thanks to its physics-based structure, ensured by the use of a Galerkin projection of the full order model (FOM) onto a linear low-dimensional subspace, RB methods yield approximations that fulfill the physical problem at hand. However, to make the assembling of a ROM independent of the FOM dimension, intrusive and expensive hyper-reduction stages are usually required, such as the discrete empirical interpolation method (DEIM), thus making this strategy less feasible for problems characterized by (high-order polynomial or nonpolynomial) nonlinearities. To overcome this bottleneck, we propose a novel strategy for learning nonlinear ROM operators using deep neural networks (DNNs). The resulting hyper-reduced order model enhanced by deep neural networks, to which we refer to as Deep-HyROMnet, is then a physics-based model, still relying on the RB method approach, however employing a DNN architecture to approximate reduced residual vectors and Jacobian matrices once a Galerkin projection has been performed. Numerical results dealing with fast simulations in nonlinear structural mechanics show that Deep-HyROMnets are orders of magnitude faster than POD-Galerkin-DEIM ROMs, keeping the same level of accuracy.
