contents We apply physics-informed neural networks to three-dimensional Rayleigh-Bénard convection in a cubic cell with a Rayleigh number of Ra = 10^6 and a Prandtl number of Pr = 0.7 to assimilate the velocity vector field from given temperature fields and vice versa. With the respective ground truth data provided by a direct numerical simulation, we are able to evaluate the performance of the different activation functions applied (sine, hyperbolic tangent and exponential linear unit) and different numbers of neurons (32, 64, 128, 256) for each of the five hidden layers of the multi-layer perceptron. The main result is that the use of a periodic activation function (sine) typically benefits the assimilation performance in terms of the analyzed metrics, correlation with the ground truth and mean average error. The higher quality of results from sine-activated physics-informed neural networks is also manifested in the probability density function and power spectra of the inferred velocity or temperature fields. Regarding the two assimilation directions, the assimilation of temperature fields based on velocities appears to be more challenging in the sense that it exhibits a sharper limit on the number of neurons below which viable assimilation results can not be achieved.
