Physics-Informed Neural Networks Solve Nonlinear Westervelt Equation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel approach using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve the nonlinear Westervelt equation, which models acoustic wave propagation in biological tissues. This method addresses the challenges faced by traditional solvers when dealing with the equation's inherent nonlinearity and attenuation. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of PINNs across three synthetic cases—linear, shock-dominated, and dissipation-dominated—showing that the attenuation coefficient scales amplitude decay, while the nonlinearity parameter governs frequency-dependent phase speeds. AI

IMPACT This research demonstrates a new application of PINNs for modeling complex physical phenomena, potentially improving accuracy in ultrasound imaging and therapeutic applications.

    Solving the Nonlinear Westervelt Equation in Ultrasound Propagation Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks

    Modeling the nonlinear acoustic wave propagation in biological tissues needs accuracy, especially in ultrasound imaging and therapeutic applications. The 1D Westervelt equation, \( p_{xx} - p_{tt} + γ\, p_{ttt} + η\,(p^{2})_{tt}=0, \) could be used to describe a finite-amplitude …
