Description: | |
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is crucial in fields like aerospace, biomedical engineering, and environmental modeling. Traditional CFD methods, reliant on solving the Navier-Stokes equations, are computationally intensive, requiring significant time and resources. Recent advancements in machine learning, especially Large Language Models (LLMs), offer the potential to reduce these computational demands. However, fluid dynamics' highdimensional, complex nature poses significant challenges for direct application of these models. The project will use the pattern recognition and reasoning abilities of pre-trained LLMs, enhanced with spatiotemporal-aware encoding, to predict unsteady fluid dynamics. By integrating LLMs with advanced spatiotemporal encoders, the aim is to bridge the gap between traditional CFD methods and modern machine learning approaches, improving accuracy and reducing computational costs. Computationally the process begins by breaking the domain down into smaller patches; LLMs such as LLaMA3 can be used to predict the future flow states based on the history of previous states. This is particularly effective in capturing the unsteady nature of fluid flows, where current states depend on prior conditions. The LLM's output is decoded into a grid that represents the fluid domain and refined using a Graph Neural Network (GNN), which propagates information across the grid, allowing for accurate prediction of the next state in the simulation. The results will be rigorously evaluated using standard CFD datasets, such as the Cylinder and Airfoil datasets, to assess its performance against existing machine learning methods. The model’s performance will be measured using metrics like Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) across various prediction horizons. Overall this represents a novel approach to computational fluid dynamics, combining the strengths of LLMs with spatiotemporal-aware encoders to address the challenges of unsteady fluid dynamics prediction. The approach promises to enhance CFD simulation accuracy and efficiency, potentially establishing itself as a leading tool in the field. The project will provide an opportunity for the student to work beyond the cutting edge of CFD and establish themselves in the forefront of the wave of new AI technology which is revolutionising the subject |
