DRBEM approach, which focuses only on the boundary discretization, enables efficient numerical analysis while reducing computational load.

The highest thermal performance is obtained when the enclosure with flat walls is tilted by a right angle under the presence of partially applied magnetic field for various combinations of the governing parameters.

Specifically, for the former, we consider a pseudostress-velocity mixed formulation, whereas for the latter we analyze both primal and mixed approaches. In particular, for the mixed one the convection-diffusion-reaction part is reformulated by introducing the diffusion vector as an additional unknown, thus leading to a fully-mixed formulation of the coupling. On the other hand, in the mixed-primal setting, the Dirichlet boundary condition for the concentration is enforced through a suitable Lagrange multiplier, whereas this requirement is avoided in the fully mixed approach. We establish the well-posedness of both formulations using a fixed-point strategy and prove the well-posedness of the uncoupled problems by relying on recently established solvability results for perturbed saddle-point problems in Banach spaces, together with the Banach–Nečas–Babuška theorem and the Babuška–Brezzi theory. Additionally, we provide a discrete analysis for both approaches under specific hypotheses on arbitrary finite element spaces. For instance, for each integer <em>k</em> ≥ 0, we consider tensor and vector Raviart–Thomas subspaces of order <em>k</em> for the pseudostress and the diffusion, respectively, along with piecewise polynomial subspaces of degree ≤ <em>k</em> for the velocity and concentration.

Traditional numerical methods like the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) face significant challenges when applied to metal solidification simulations due to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in dealing with multiphysics coupling, nonlinearity, and spatio-temporal complexity. Despite their potential, PINNs require further optimization to accurately capture complex physical phenomena in practical simulations. In this study, we propose a novel method based on PINNs, termed MS-PINN, which integrates Fourier Feature Embedding (FFE), Residual-based Adaptive Resampling (RAD), and Self-adaptive Loss Balanced methods (SAL) to significantly enhance simulation accuracy and efficiency. FFE improves the model’s ability to capture high-frequency features, RAD increases learning efficiency in high-gradient regions, and SAL dynamically adjusts loss function weights to optimize the training process. Experimental results show that MS-PINN outperforms traditional PINNs and other advanced approaches, achieving average error reductions of approximately 81.00% compared to Conv-LSTM, 77.11% compared to TCN, and 61.56% compared to PINN in reconstruction experiments. In predictive experiments, MS-PINN reduces errors by 53.23%, 68.81%, and 72.54% compared to PINN, TCN, and CONV-LSTM methods, respectively. Additionally, we developed a general PDE-solving software, NeuroPDE, based on this method. NeuroPDE has demonstrated success not only in the solidification process of Cu-1wt.%Ag alloy but also in solving Burgers, diffusion, and Navier-Stokes (NS) equations, including turbulent datasets characterized by high Reynolds numbers, and their inverse problems. This highlights NeuroPDE’s versatility and broad applicability in solving complex forward and inverse problems in fluid dynamics and other fields.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55218,"journal":{"name":"Computers & Mathematics with Applications","volume":"207 ","pages":"Pages 60-78"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145996321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
