Prediction of directional solidification in freeze casting of biomaterial scaffolds using physics-informed neural networks.
Freeze casting, a manufacturing technique widely applied in biomedical fields for fabricating biomaterial scaffolds, poses challenges for predicting directional solidification due to its highly nonlinear behavior and complex interplay of process parameters. Conventional numerical methods, such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), require adequate and accurate boundary condition knowledge, limiting their utility in real-world transient solidification applications due to technical limitations. In this study, we address this challenge by developing a physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) model to predict directional solidification in freeze-casting processes. The PINNs model integrates physical constraints with neural network predictions, requiring significantly fewer predetermined boundary conditions compared to CFD. Through a comparison with CFD simulations, the PINNs model demonstrates comparable accuracy in predicting temperature distribution and solidification patterns. This promising model achieves such a performance with only 5000 data points in space and time, equivalent to 250,000 timesteps, showcasing its ability to predict solidification dynamics with high accuracy. The study's major contributions lie in providing insights into solidification patterns during freeze-casting scaffold fabrication, facilitating the design of biomaterial scaffolds with finely tuned microstructures essential for various tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, the reduced computational demands of the PINNs model offer potential cost and time savings in scaffold fabrication, promising advancements in biomedical engineering research and development.
