arXiv:2606. 27126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs).

The paper explores using residual learning with an LSTM neural network to enhance unsteady aerodynamic load predictions for aeroelastic applications. By training the network on the difference between high‑fidelity CFD lift data and a physics‑based Wagner model for the NLR 7301 airfoil in transonic flow, the residual approach consistently outperforms a direct neural‑network model in most tests, especially in generalization scenarios. The study demonstrates that residual learning can effectively augment classical low‑order aerodynamic theories by learning a lower‑variance correction to the baseline physics model.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). This architecture builds on the Kolmogorov-Arnold theorem, which endows it with universal approximation properties.

The paper explores using residual learning with an LSTM neural network to enhance unsteady aerodynamic load predictions for aeroelastic applications. By training the network on the difference between high‑fidelity CFD lift data and a physics‑based Wagner model, the residual approach outperforms a direct neural‑network model in most cases, especially in generalization tests. The study demonstrates that aligning residual inputs with the baseline physics variables yields lower error and more consistent performance across varied motion scenarios.
The paper introduces VATO, a Vortex-Force-Aware Transformer Operator designed to predict unsteady separated flows around aerofoils more accurately. VATO couples a Vortex Force Map (VFM) method with a geometry-aware neural operator, offering two variants: VATO‑S, which adds training-only supervision of local VFM force contributions, and VATO‑A, which prioritizes force-relevant source locations for residual cross attention. Evaluated on CFD data for double‑edged‑plate aerofoils, VATO‑S and VATO‑A reduce velocity, pressure, and vorticity errors by up to 15.8%, 7.5%, and 31.2% respectively, and improve aerodynamic force predictions even beyond the training range.
