摘要
This paper proposed a two-dimensional steady-state field prediction approach that combines B-spline functions and a fully connected neural network. In this approach, field data, which are determined by corresponding control vectors, are fitted by a selected B-spline function set, yielding the corresponding best-fitting weight vectors, and then a fully connected neural network is trained using those weight vectors and control vectors. The trained neural network first predicts a weight vector using a given control vector, and then the corresponding field can be restored via the selected B-spline set. This method was applied to learn and predict two-dimensional steady advection–diffusion physical fields with absorption and source terms, and its accuracy and performance were tested and verified by a series of numerical experiments with different B-spline sets, boundary conditions, field gradients, and field states. The proposed method was finally compared with a generative adversarial network (GAN) and a physics-informed neural network (PINN). The results indicated that the B-spline neural network could predict the tested physical fields well; the overall error can be reduced by expanding the selected B-spline set. Compared with GAN and PINN, the proposed method also presented the advantages of a high prediction accuracy, less demand for training data, and high training efficiency.
