PGNM: Using Physics-Informed Gated Recurrent Units Network Method to capture the dynamic data feature propagation process of PDEs

The multi-layer perceptron architecture in PINNs model severely limits the model’s ability to learn the temporal evolution of equation features. Instead, the GRU network is capable of capturing these complex temporal correlation features. This paper replaces the multi-layer perceptron structure of the PINNs model with the GRU network and called the modified model as physics-informed gated recurrent units network method (PGNM model). The PGNM model exhibits enhanced performance in assimilating insights from historical data and providing accurate predictions for future data. This paper compares the predictive performance of the proposed PGNM model and the classical PINNs model using L2 error and mean squared error (MSE) as metrics. Additionally, it evaluates how altering various parameter settings, such as the number of neurons, hidden layers and iterations, affects the predictive capabilities of both models. In conclusion, PGNM model shows significant improvement in prediction accuracy compared to PINNs model. Furthermore, PGNM model achieves better long-range prediction results than PINNs model when the training data does not include samples from the time period to be predicted.
