Definition of Symbolic PDE Based on MindFlow
Partial differential equations (PDEs) play an important role in engineering application since most of the physics governing natural or man-made complex systems are described by PDEs. Here, the definition of PDE based on MindFlow with sympy and the model construction based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) are introduced. Using mindflow.pde.PDEWithLoss, one can describe the partial differential equation in symbolic form, and calculates the loss of all equations easily. This makes the equation simple, easy to understand and expand. One can inherit mindflow.pde.PDEWithLoss to realize user-defined partial differential equations.
Example of Problem Modeling
The following CylinderFlow defines the 2d unsteady flow passing over a cylinder problem. Specifically, it includes 3 parts defined above: governing equation, initial condition and boundary conditions.
The NavierStokes base class, the input and output variables, and the governing equations are defined.
If you want to define other governing equations, you can overwrite the NavierStokes base class.

from mindspore import nn
from mindflow.pde import PDEWithLoss
class NavierStokes(PDEWithLoss):
def __init__(self, model, re=100, loss_fn=nn.MSELoss()):
self.number = np.float32(1.0 / re)
self.x, self.y, self.t = symbols('x y t')
self.u = Function('u')(self.x, self.y, self.t)
self.v = Function('v')(self.x, self.y, self.t)
self.p = Function('p')(self.x, self.y, self.t)
self.in_vars = [self.x, self.y, self.t]
self.out_vars = [self.u, self.v, self.p]
super(NavierStokes, self).__init__(model, self.in_vars, self.out_vars)
self.loss_fn = loss_fn
def pde(self):
momentum_x = self.u.diff(self.t) + self.u * self.u.diff(self.x) + self.v * self.u.diff(self.y) +\
self.p.diff(self.x) - self.number * (diff(self.u, (self.x, 2)) + diff(self.u, (self.y, 2)))
momentum_y = self.v.diff(self.t) + self.u * self.v.diff(self.x) + self.v * self.v.diff(self.y) +\
self.p.diff(self.y) - self.number * (diff(self.v, (self.x, 2)) + diff(self.v, (self.y, 2)))
continuty = self.u.diff(self.x) + self.v.diff(self.y)
equations = {"momentum_x": momentum_x, "momentum_y": momentum_y, "continuty": continuty}
return equations
Next, we use the NavierStokes base class to define initial and boundary conditions, as well as loss functions.

Example of Neumann Boundary Condition Definition
In mathematics, Neumann boundary conditions are also called “the second kind of boundary conditions” of ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations. The Neumann boundary condition specifies the differential at the boundary of the solution of the differential equation.
The following Poisson2D problem defines Dirichlet boundary conditions(bc_outer) and Neumann boundary conditions(bc_inner).

bc_inner_loss = self.loss_fn(bc_inner_res[0], Tensor(np.array([0.0]), mstype.float32))
