Specific Duties

PhD project O1.2 at Universität Hamburg:

- Convex Integration

PhD project O2.2 at Technische Universität Hamburg (TU Hamburg):

- efficient model-order reducing approaches to unsteady optimization
- optimization of unsteady propeller-hull-interaction
- robust & risk aware transient optimization. Examples included should address shape optimization of energy saving devices for modern propulsion systems.

(1) Application of quantum-inspired tensor network methods to formulate reduced-order models for wall-bounded flows. (2) Formulation of classical Finite Volume building blocks using Matrix Product State and Matrix Product Operator formats. (3) Transfer of Tensor Network simulations to Quantum gate level simulations using variational quantum methods. Examples included should address laminar/turbulent attached and separated wall-bounded engineering shear flows.

PhD project O4 at Universität Hamburg:

- Coupling finite elements and data driven models in identification/learning of flow laws

Aims & Motiviation:
In the identification/learning of governing equations of a fluid, unknown parameters and material laws (such as the stress-strain relation) need to be identified from measurements by minimizing the mismatch/loss between (numerical) model predictions and measurement data. In some situations, these unknown parameters may be just a finite set of real numbers.

However, when coupling with different physical quantities such as temperature, or polymer densities, the material laws may also be unknown functions which need to be identified. Due to their known approximation quality neuronal networks (NN) may be used to approximate these unknown functions for flow in porous media, but fitting to preselected sets of functions is also possible. Similar ideas have also been used for improved turbulence modeling. In order to simulate the flow based on such a data driven/empirical flow law the governing partial differential equation (PDE) needs to be discretized, e.g., by finite elements.

When training the NN the accuracy of the discretization needs to be carefully tuned to avoid excessive training cost and potential stalling of the training.

Apprach & Innovation:
In contrast to so called physics informed NN where the unknown solution of the PDE is approximated by a NN, we want to approximate the unknown material laws by a NN while continuing to use standard approaches for the discretization.

In this context the possible PhD topics will deal with the inherent difficulties associated with the coupling of a finite element discretization of the PDE with a NN for the material laws. This includes the efficient adjoint based gradient calculation for the coupled problem, the error assessment of the coupled system for the prediction and identification problem by means of adloint baes error estimation as well as the analysis and design of suitable optimization methods for the training of the material law NN.
