This study establishes the Moving Particle Semi-implicit Plus Uncertainty (MPSPU) framework to enable rigorous uncertainty quantification (UQ) for particle-based simulations in nuclear reactor safety analysis. Designed to extend the Best Estimate Plus Uncertainty (BEPU) methodology, MPSPU addresses the specific challenges of Lagrangian particle methods while maintaining compatibility with existing regulatory assessment protocols. The framework is validated using the SURC-4 experiment, which simulates the Molten Core–Concrete Interaction (MCCI) phenomenon. A critical advancement is the formulation of a time-dependent sensitivity analysis, which reveals that melt temperature is the dominant driver governing early-stage MCCI behavior. Furthermore, a comparative evaluation of surrogate models for MPS time-series data identifies Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks as the optimal architecture, outperforming conventional polynomial and neural network approaches. To demonstrate the framework's practical utility, an end-to-end calculation example is presented, illustrating the complete workflow from raw simulation data to regulatory-grade risk metrics. This example explicitly quantifies the conditional failure probability of concrete ablation depth against safety limits, showcasing the framework's ability to support risk-informed decision-making. Ultimately, this work provides a systematic pathway for integrating particle methods into safety analysis.

This paper proposes a novel fractional nonlinear parabolic model based on Caputo time-fractional derivative, designed to enhance the classical Perona-Malik model for image denoising and contrast improvement. A regularized diffusion mechanism is incorporated to control the diffusion rate and direction locally. The well-posedness of the model is analyzed, and two main existence results for weak solutions are established. The first, under a bounded reaction term, is proved using Schauder’s fixed-point theorem; the second, involving a nonlinear and weakly regular source term, ensures the existence of a weak SOLA solution via approximation techniques and new technical estimates. Numerical experiments on grayscale and MRI images validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed model under various noise levels. The results show superior denoising and enhancement performance compared to state-of-the-art methods, preserving natural appearance and minimizing artifacts. This confirms the model’s potential for high-precision image restoration applications.

This paper aims to study a priori error analysis of the weak Galerkin mixed finite element method (WG-MFEM) for parabolic interface problems in a two-dimensional bounded convex polygonal domain. While discontinuous functions are employed for the approximation of spatial variable, an implicit backward Euler scheme is used for the time variable. Due to the presence of the discontinuous coefficient across the interface, the solution of parabolic interface problems possesses very low global regularity. Using the Stein extension operator and the H1(div)-extension operator leads to the novel approximation results for the L2 projection operators for both the scalar and the vector-valued functions, respectively. With the help of mixed elliptic projection operator and the new approximation properties combined with the standard energy argument, an almost optimal order a priori error bounds are derived for both the solution and the flux variables in the L∞(L2) norm. Numerical outcomes for some test problems are reported to confirm the theoretical analysis.

Partial differential equations that exhibit reduced regularity due to geometric singularities or possess nontrivial null space components arising from intrinsic properties of the differential operator pose serious challenges for both conventional numerical methods and standard physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). Least-squares finite element methods (LSFEM) have long provided robust tools for addressing such issues through weighted norm formulations and null-space projection techniques. In this work, we propose a hybrid PINN framework that systematically incorporates key elements of LSFEM to overcome limitations of existing PINNs. By embedding weighted least-squares functionals or projection mechanisms into the PINN architecture, the proposed method effectively handles singularities and ill-posedness within a deep learning paradigm. This approach enhances solution stability, avoids pollution from singular modes, and improves accuracy in problems where standard PINNs struggle.

In this paper, the model equivalent approach is developed for full-wave analysis of electromagnetic propagation in multilayered fully anisotropic lossy media. In the process of geometric simulation, the 3D planar layered model is projected onto an axial stratified structure, effectively reducing spatial complexity. Then, the mesh free scheme is adopted for discretization, thus significantly decreasing the resource consumption. To accommodate generalized electromagnetic media, the governing equation for the electric field is formulated based on fully anisotropic media, characterized by full tensor parameters. The Galerkin method is employed to generate weak form partial differential equations (PDEs), then, the FEM is adopted to address the equations. To ensure accuracy in the FEM implementation, the divergence condition is imposed as a constraint on the PDEs, effectively eliminating spurious solutions from the computational domain. Finally, three numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In advanced studies of bionanoscience, magnetic nanomaterials serve as therapeutic transporters for treating vascular disorders, such as carotid and peripheral artery diseases, along with other biomedical applications. This study explores the theoretical behavior of hybrid nanoparticles (Cu-Fe2O3) in two-dimensional peristaltic blood flow through an inclined, catheterized artery, accounting for outer wall slip in an uncertain environment. The non-Newtonian Jeffrey nanofluid model is employed, incorporating nonlinear thermal radiation and an externally induced magnetic field to capture novel aspects of nanofluid behavior. However, uncertainty in velocity and temperature patterns may arise due to variations in nanoparticle volume fraction, which cannot be ignored. To address this, these distributions are analyzed within a fuzzy framework, treating them as triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). Within this framework, the dimensionless nonlinear flow equations are converted into fuzzy differential equations by introducing symmetrical TFNs, where the nanoparticle volume fractions serve as fuzzy parameters. The Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) is then applied to derive fuzzy semi analytical solutions for temperature and velocity profiles using a double parametric approach for fuzzy numbers. Additionally, a comprehensive graphical analysis is presented, incorporating triangular fuzzy representations in both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) frameworks for the fuzzy solutions of temperature and velocity profiles. The obtained fuzzy solutions are validated by comparing a special case of the present solution with existing precise solutions. An in-depth analysis of key flow characteristics such as wall shear stress, the Nusselt number, and the skin friction coefficient is conducted for the special case under various emerging parameters. It is observed that as the Darcy parameter increases, both the upper and lower bounds of fuzzy velocity improve. Meanwhile, an increase in the thermal radiation parameter leads to a significant drop in the fuzzy temperature profile due to enhanced heat dissipation through radiation.

This work presents a numerical model for the simulation of potential flow past three dimensional lifting surfaces. The solver is based on the collocation Boundary Element Method, combined with Galerkin variational formulation of the nonlinear Kutta condition imposed at the trailing edge. A similar Galerkin variational formulation is also used for the computation of the fluid velocity at the wake collocation points, required by the relaxation algorithm which aligns the wake with the local flow. The use of such a technique, typically associated with the Finite Element Method, allows in fact for the evaluation of the solution derivatives in a way that is independent of the local grid topology. As a result of this choice, combined with the direct interface with CAD surfaces, the solver is able to use arbitrary order Lagrangian elements on automatically refined grids. Numerical results on a rectangular wing with NACA 0012 airfoil sections are presented to compare the accuracy improvements obtained refining the grid or increasing the polynomial degree. Finally, numerical results on rectangular and swept wings with NACA 0012 airfoil section confirm that the model is able to reproduce experimental data with good accuracy.

In this paper, we develop a new physics informed neural network (PINN) method, named integral-trainable PINN (ITPINN), to solve high-dimensional non-local partial differential equations (PDEs), involving PDEs with fractional derivatives (Caputo derivative and Riemann-Liouville derivative) or multiple integral. In the ITPINN framework, we perform integration by parts on the original integral to obtain a new constraint condition, which forms a coupled system with the original equation. We consider the integral terms as unknown functions in the coupled system and construct a neural network with three output terms, one for predicting the exact solution, one for predicting the original integral term, and one for approximating the new integral obtained by integration by parts. The network is used as a surrogate model for fractional derivatives or multiple integral, which allows approximation of the fractional derivatives or multiple integral to be achieved by training the network. The proposed method omits the process of discretizing the integral term using traditional numerical methods, such as finite difference method or interpolation approximation. Moreover, the physical information obtained from integration by parts is used to construct a new supervised learning task to further constrain the surrogate model for the integral terms. Several experiments are used to illustrate the performance of the ITPINN. The numerical results confirm that our proposed method can effectively solve high-dimensional evolution non-local PDEs, such as 50D problems. Compared to fractional PINN (fPINN) and auxiliary PINN (A-PINN), the ITPINN can achieve higher prediction accuracy and save more training time. In particular, we also test the robustness of the ITPINN under interference with noise intensities ranging from 0.01% to 50% and further discuss its scalability in 100D and 1000D problems.

Simulating the metal solidification process is crucial for improving product quality, optimizing manufacturing processes, and developing new materials. 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.

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":"2026-01-20","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}
