Abstract

Physics-informed neural network (PINN) is a new type of neural network method that can be used to solve the physical problem by providing a given data set in the machine learning process with embedded physics information directly described by differential equations. A PINN model was applied in this study to solve the governing equation of motion for the analysis of a floating sphere wave energy converter (WEC), and a time-series segmentation approach was implemented to effectively handle the time-dependent problem. A series of PINN simulations are presented in this paper, including a decay test and a set of wave conditions, where the PINN solutions are verified against those obtained from other time-domain numerical models. This work aims to investigate the feasibility of using PINN for WEC applications with a focus on numerical benchmarking, and the studies of collection point resolution, the overall model accuracy, and the corresponding computational efficiency are also investigated.
