4. 2D Verification, Validation and Applications

When computational methods for physical problems are used to address science questions, verification is an essential first step to ensure credible results [20, 12]. While validation with observational data is the focus of future work, we must first verify that our physics-informed deep learning framework is able to solve both forward and inverse problems to reasonable accuracy.
