Abstract
This paper uses the physical information neural network (PINN) model to solve a 3D anisotropic steady-state heat conduction problem based on deep learning techniques. The model embeds the problem’s governing equations and boundary conditions into the neural network and treats the neural network’s output as the numerical solution of the partial differential equation. Then, the network is trained using the Adam optimizer on the training set. The output progressively converges toward the accurate solution of the equation. In the first numerical example, we demonstrate the convergence of the PINN by discussing the effect of the neural network’s number of layers, each hidden layer’s number of neurons, the initial learning rate and decay rate, the size of the training set, the mini-batch size, the amount of training points on the boundary, and the training steps on the relative error of the numerical solution, respectively. The numerical solutions are presented for three different examples. Thus, the effectiveness of the method is verified.
