Abstract

This chapter presents a physics-guided recurrent neural network model (PGRNN) for predicting water temperature in lake systems. Standard machine learning (ML) methods, especially deep learning models, often require a large amount of labeled training samples, which are often not available in scientific problems due to the substantial human labor and material costs associated with data collection. ML models have found tremendous success in several commercial applications, e.g., computer vision and natural language processing. The chapter presents PGRNN as a general framework for modeling physical processes in engineering and environmental systems. The proposed PGRNN explicitly incorporates physical laws such as energy conservation or mass conservation. In particular, researchers started pursing this direction by using residual modeling, where an ML model is learned to predict the errors, or residuals, made by a physics-based model. Advanced ML models, especially deep learning models, often require a large amount of training data for tuning model parameters.
