A Supervised Learning Framework for Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Simulations

The Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method is used in a variety of engineering and scientific applications for enabling multi-physics simulations. Unfortunately, the ALE method can suffer from simulation failures that require users to adjust parameters iteratively in order to complete a simulation. In this paper, we present a supervised learning framework for predicting conditions leading to simulation failures. To our knowledge, this is the first time machine learning has been applied to ALE simulations. We propose a novel learning representation for mapping the ALE domain onto a supervised learning formulation. We analyze the predictability of these failures and evaluate our framework using well-known test problems.
