Fluids You Can Trust: Property-Preserving Operator Learning for Incompressible Flows

The paper introduces a kernel‑based operator learning method that preserves key physical properties—such as incompressibility, periodicity, and turbulence—of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations. By mapping input functions to expansion coefficients in a property‑preserving kernel basis, the method guarantees that predicted velocity fields analytically maintain these properties. The authors provide theoretical convergence guarantees, develop efficient computational techniques for large‑scale training, and demonstrate significant accuracy and speed improvements over neural operators on 2D and 3D flow benchmarks.

Linearized PINN with pretrained nonlinear layers

The paper introduces a linearized Physics-Informed Neural Network (lPINN), a reduced‑order neural basis approach for solving forward and inverse differential equations. In an offline phase, lPINN learns continuous, differentiable neural basis functions from numerical solutions, which are then frozen for new problem instances; the online solution is obtained by minimizing the governing‑equation residual with additional constraints. Experiments on advection‑diffusion, Burgers', and nonlinear pendulum equations show that lPINN achieves lower solution and parameter errors than vanilla PINNs while reducing online inference times by up to three orders of magnitude, and its continuous representation generalizes to finer meshes without retraining.

Advances in Scientific Machine Learning for Coupled Fluid Flow and Transport

This chapter reviews recent advances in Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) for modeling coupled fluid flow and transport phenomena governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes and scalar transport equations. Such systems, found in applications like turbidity currents and thermal convection, feature strong nonlinear coupling and multiscale behavior that make high-fidelity simulations computationally expensive.

Neural Eigenfluid Bases: Spectral Objectives, Gauge, and Topology

Neural Eigenfluid Bases (NEB) extend Laplacian Eigenfluids by providing a neural representation whose basis functions can be evaluated anywhere in space, enforcing incompressibility and impermeable boundaries via differential lifts and potential boundary conditions. Geometry‑local orthogonalization and Rayleigh minimization learn an ordered basis, while gauge fixing and a Dirichlet energy loss enable efficient learning of circulation fields around obstacles. With only 1024 modes, NEB achieves velocity errors below 1% in periodic vortex merger and outperforms numerical Laplacian bases on random obstacle flows, offering a thousand‑fold reduction in state size and millisecond‑scale updates through precomputed Galerkin operators.

Hard Constraint Projection in a Physics Informed Neural Network (Burgers)

This paper extends the hard constraint projection (HCP) method to the nonlinear 1D Burgers' equation, integrating it into a physics‑informed neural network (PINN). By discretising the equation, constructing a constraint matrix, and adding an unlearnable projection layer, the HCP‑PINN enforces the governing PDE during training. Experiments show that the HCP‑PINN achieves higher accuracy—about an order of magnitude lower data error than a standard PINN—and better adherence to the PDE, while being less sensitive to the number and placement of collocation points.

A Multi-Resolution Finite-Volume Inspired Deep Learning Framework for Spatiotemporal Dynamics Prediction

arXiv:2607. 00460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Predicting complex spatiotemporal dynamics in physical processes often demands computationally expensive numerical methods or data-driven neural networks that suffer from high training costs, error accumulation, and limited generalizability to unseen parameters.
