Transfer Learning with Physics-Informed Neural Networks for Efficient Simulation of Branched Flows
share
Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) offer a promising approach to solving differential equations and, more generally, to applying deep learning to problems in the physical sciences. We adopt a recently developed transfer learning approach for PINNs and introduce a multi-head model to efficiently obtain accurate solutions to nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations with random potentials. In particular, we apply the method to simulate stochastic branched flows, a universal phenomenon in random wave dynamics. Finally, we compare the results achieved by feed forward and GAN-based PINNs on two physically relevant transfer learning tasks and show that our methods provide significant computational speedups in comparison to standard PINNs trained from scratch.
