contents In a porous medium featuring heterogeneous permeabilities, a wide range of fluid velocities may be recorded, so that significant inertial and frictional effects may arise in high-speed regions. In such parts, the link between pressure gradient and velocity is typically made via Darcy's law, which may fail to account for these effects; instead, the Darcy Forchheimer law, which introduces a nonlinear term, may be more adequate. Applying the Darcy Forchheimer law globally in the domain is very costly numerically and, rather, should only be done where strictly necessary. The question of finding a prori the subdomain where to restrict the use of the Darcy Forchheimer law was recently answered in FP23 by using an adaptive model: given a threshold on the flow velocity, the model locally selects the more appropriate law as it is being solved. At the end of the resolution, each mesh cell is flagged as being in the Darcy or Darcy Forchheimer subdomain. Still, this model is nonlinear itself and thus relatively expensive to run. In this paper, to accelerate the subdivision of the domain into low and high speed regions, we instead exploit the adaptive model from FP23 to generate partitioning data given an array of different input parameters, such as boundary conditions and inertial coefficients, and then train neural networks on these data classifying each mesh cell as Darcy or not. Two test cases are studied to illustrate the results, where cost functions, parity plots, precision-recall plots and receiver operating characteristic curves are analyzed.
