Our research extends the work of Bhattacharya et al. by focusing on PCA for effective dimensionality reduction and utilizing NN for mapping in the reduced dimension. This approach addresses the significant computational challenges and inaccuracies often encountered with classical numerical techniques in solving PDEs.We specifically investigate the still-water equation, employing our PCA-NN method to learn a reduced order mapping of PDE solutions and evaluate its robustness in diverse noisy environments. Our findings reveal a notable relationship between noise intensity and error, indicating a linear trend for Gaussian and Salt and Pepper noise, and an exponential trend for Uniform noise. Furthermore, this study uncovers a critical weakness of the model in predicting points with a high rate of change.Overall, our research significantly contributes to understanding the practical applicability and limitations of PCA-NN methods in real-world, noisy settings, offering valuable insights for future applications in this domain.
