Tensor-driven accelerated framework for hp-variational pinns


Link to Documentation 📚

A robust tensor-based deep learning framework for solving PDE's using hp-Variational Physics-Informed Neural Networks (hp-VPINNs). The framework is based on the work by FastVPINNs Paper.

This library is an highly optimised version of the the initial implementation of hp-VPINNs by kharazmi. Ref hp-VPINNs Paper.

Usage 🚀


For detailed usage, please refer to our documentation here.

The package provides a simple API to train and solve PDE using VPINNs. The following code snippet demonstrates how to train a hp-VPINN model for the 2D Poisson equation for a structured grid. We could observe that we can solve a PDE using fastvpinns using 15 lines of code.

#load the geometry 
domain = Geometry_2D("quadrilateral", "internal", 100, 100, "./")
cells, boundary_points = domain.generate_quad_mesh_internal(x_limits=[0, 1],y_limits=[0, 1],n_cells_x=4, n_cells_y=4, num_boundary_points=400)

# load the FEspace
fespace = Fespace2D(domain.mesh,cells,boundary_points,domain.mesh_type,fe_order=5,fe_type="jacobi",quad_order=5,quad_type="legendre", fe_transformation_type="bilinear",bound_function_dict=bound_function_dict,bound_condition_dict=bound_condition_dict,
forcing_function=rhs,output_path=i_output_path,generate_mesh_plot=True)

# Instantiate Data handler 
datahandler = DataHandler2D(fespace, domain, dtype=tf.float32)

# Instantiate the model with the loss function for the model 
model = DenseModel(layer_dims=[2, 30, 30, 30, 1],learning_rate_dict=0.01,params_dict=params_dict,
        loss_function=pde_loss_poisson,  ## Loss function of poisson2D
        input_tensors_list=[in_tensor, dir_in, dir_out],
        orig_factor_matrices=[datahandler.shape_val_mat_list,datahandler.grad_x_mat_list, datahandler.grad_y_mat_list],
        force_function_list=datahandler.forcing_function_list, tensor_dtype=tf.float32,
        use_attention=i_use_attention, ## Archived (not in use)
        activation=i_activation,
        hessian=False)

# Train the model
for epoch in range(1000):
    model.train_step()

Note : Supporting functions which define the actual solution and boundary conditions have to be passed to the main code.
