contents The Physics-Constrained DeepONet (PC-DeepONet), an architecture that incorporates fundamental physics knowledge into the data-driven DeepONet model, is presented in this study. This methodology is exemplified through surrogate modeling of fluid dynamics over a curved backward-facing step, a benchmark problem in computational fluid dynamics. The model was trained on computational fluid dynamics data generated for a range of parameterized geometries. The PC-DeepONet was able to learn the mapping from the parameters describing the geometry to the velocity and pressure fields. While the DeepONet is solely data-driven, the PC-DeepONet imposes the divergence constraint from the continuity equation onto the network. The PC-DeepONet demonstrates higher accuracy than the data-driven baseline, especially when trained on sparse data. Both models attain convergence with a small dataset of 50 samples and require only 50 iterations for convergence, highlighting the efficiency of neural operators in learning the dynamics governed by partial differential equations.
