Multiple scattering simulation via physics-informed neural networks

Abstract

This work presents a physics-driven machine learning framework for the simulation of acoustic scattering problems. The proposed framework relies on a physics-informed neural network (PINN) architecture that leverages prior knowledge based on the physics of the scattering problem as well as a tailored network structure that embodies the concept of the superposition principle of linear wave interaction. The framework can also simulate the scattered field due to rigid scatterers having arbitrary shape as well as high-frequency problems. Unlike conventional data-driven neural networks, the PINN is trained by directly enforcing the governing equations describing the underlying physics, hence without relying on any labeled training dataset. Remarkably, the network model has significantly lower discretization dependence and offers simulation capabilities akin to parallel computation. This feature is particularly beneficial to address computational challenges typically associated with conventional mesh-dependent simulation methods. The performance of the network is investigated via a comprehensive numerical study that explores different application scenarios based on acoustic scattering.
