New method approximates complex Basset force in fluid dynamics using neural networks

Researchers have developed a novel method to approximate the Basset force within the Maxey-Riley-Gatignol equations, which model particle motion in fluids. This force, an integral term representing wake and boundary layer effects, significantly complicates numerical solutions by making the force dependent on a particle's past trajectory. The new approach utilizes universal differential equations and neural networks to transform the complex integral term into a system of ordinary differential equations, allowing for easier solving with standard numerical methods like Runge-Kutta. AI

IMPACT This research could enable more accurate simulations of particle dynamics in fluids, potentially impacting fields like computational fluid dynamics and materials science.
