contents Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers employing two-equation eddy viscosity models are the industry standard for simulating turbulent flows using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) formulation. While these methods are computationally less expensive than direct numerical simulations, they can still incur significant computational costs to achieve the desired accuracy. In this context, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer a promising approach for developing parametric surrogate models that leverage both existing, but limited CFD solutions and the governing differential equations to predict simulation outcomes in a computationally efficient, differentiable, and near real-time manner. In this work, we build upon the previously proposed RANS-PINN framework, which only focused on predicting flow over a cylinder. To investigate the efficacy of RANS-PINN as a viable approach to building parametric surrogate models, we investigate its accuracy in predicting relevant turbulent flow variables for both internal and external flows. To ensure training convergence with a more complex loss function, we adopt a novel sampling approach that exploits the domain geometry to ensure a proper balance among the contributions from various regions within the solution domain. The effectiveness of this framework is then demonstrated for two scenarios that represent a broad class of internal and external flow problems.
