Convection-diffusion equations are a basic model to describe the distribution of a scalar quantity in fluids. Besides modeling the heat distribution in a room, they describe the concentration of drugs in blood and the propagation of chemical substances in water. Unfortunately, many classical numerical methods fail in practical applications, namely in the so-called convection-dominated regime, i.e., when convection is much stronger than diffusion. In this regime the problem can be seen as a multiscale problem and these methods often produce unphysical values, so-called spurious oscillations [1, 2]. In the last two decades, the popularity of Deep Learning methods has risen sharply due to many success stories. In the field of numerical methods for solving partial differential equations so-called PINNs stand out, which try to integrate the underlying physical equations into the learning process [3]. They have an enormous potential and have been applied to various problems, see [4] and the references therein. The objective of this talk is to bring together deep learning methods and convection-dominated convection diffusion equations. It shows certain challenges and proposes ideas how to overcome them. The ideas are tested numerically for typical benchmark problems for convection-dominated convection-diffusion equations and are compared with classical methods.
