SUBGRID-SCALE SURROGATE MODELING OF IDEALIZED ATMOSPHERIC FLOWS: A DEEP LEARNED APPROACH USING HIGH-RESOLUTION SIMULATION DATA

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaperpeer-review

Abstract

We introduce a deep learned subgrid-scale surrogate model for dry, stratified idealized atmospheric flows from high-resolution simulation data. Deep neural networks (NNs) are used to model the full state differences between a coarse resolution simulation and a high-resolution simulation, run simultaneously with the coarse resolution simulation forced by the high-resolution simulation, hence capturing both dissipative and anti-dissipative effects. The NN model is able to accurately capture the state differences in a priori tests outside the training regime. In a posteriori tests intended for production use, the NN coupled coarse simulation is accurate compared to the high-resolution simulation over a finite period in time. With the accumulation of the errors, the NN-coupled simulation becomes computationally unstable after a while. These surrogate models further pave the way for formulating stable, complex, physics-based NN models which are driven by traditional subgrid-scale turbulence closure models.
