Compute-Driven Use-Cases towards Exascale
This WP aims at integrating and further developing scaling AI methods from WP2 along representative use-cases from academia and industry that have a strong focus on compute-driven technologies, i.e., that employ high-scaling simulation technologies for various complex physical problems. The tasks of this WP are structured and laid out such that they cover a wide range of applications and that corresponding developments are transferable to other problems, also in industrial context. They concentrate on AI developments in turbulent boundary layer analysis, wind farm layout optimization, reacting flows, next-generation aircraft design, and wetting hydrodynamics, some of them aiming at full loops.

In each of the use-cases, the various experts collaborate closely to integrate all necessary aspects in obtaining Exascale-ready AI solutions for real-world problems. The overarching goals, which mirror to the use-cases, are
-
the development of in-situ feature detection techniques, i.e., Convolutional Neural Networs are trained in-situ to support automatic detection of important physical features in simulations to gain further insight into complex phenomena,
-
solving control and optimization problems, i.e., to have error-controlled extrapolation methods at hand,
-
perform Physics-Informed Deep Learning to use physical constraints as priors in the loss of Machine / Deep Learning algorithms to restrict learning to a space of physically reasonable / sound solutions,
-
replace expensive physical processes by AI models and surrogates to make simulations computationally more efficient,
-
to develop new numerical models with the help of AI, i.e., to derive at new models for multi- physics and/or multi-scale problems,
-
and to uncover non-obvious correlations of physical phenomena by means of AI methods to (i) increase computational performance and (ii) increase the accuracy of modern numerical simulation methods.
