Adaptation and validation of physics-informed neural networks for rotating 3D velocimetry
摘要
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are adapted and experimentally validated for rotating three-dimensional velocimetry (R3DV). Through the application of plenoptic imaging, R3DV enables the capture of time-resolved three-dimensional/three-component (3D/3C) velocity fields in the rotating frame of reference but suffers from anisotropic uncertainty due to the plenoptic camera’s limited baseline parallax. PINNs offer a means to regularize noisy measurements by enforcing physics-based constraints. Through validation against high resolution stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (stereo-PIV), we demonstrate that integrating PINNs with plenoptic particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) significantly improves estimations of depthwise motion.
