Abstract

A physics informed approach is applied to neural networks for subgrid-scale scalar flux modeling. We show that several invariances of the scalar transport equation are not enforced by existing parametric models, which reduce their interpretability and question their application. A new architecture embedding these invariances as hard and soft constraints is proposed. Through different flow configurations, we show that the proposed constraints increase both the performances and the generalization capabilities of the model.
