Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) for aerodynamic prediction: a comparison with MLPs and GNNs

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).

VATO: A Vortex-Force-Aware Transformer Operator for Unsteady Separated Aerofoil Flows

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.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) for aerodynamic prediction: a comparison with MLPs and GNNs

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.

A multi-scale feature enhanced graph neural network for fluid dynamics prediction in complex geometries

Industrial design in fields such as vehicle and aerospace engineering often relies on large-scale numerical simulations to evaluate fluid dynamics performance, which can incur substantial computational costs. Deep neural networks have shown promise in improving simulation efficiency, especially graph neural networks (GNNs), which demonstrate great potential due to their flexibility with unstructured data.

ChannelFlow-Tools: A Configuration-Driven Pipeline for Generating Machine-Learning-Ready Datasets of 3D Obstructed Channel Flows

ChannelFlow-Tools is an open‑source, configuration‑driven pipeline that generates machine‑learning‑ready datasets for three‑dimensional obstructed channel flows. It combines procedural obstacle geometry generation across six shape families, signed‑distance‑field voxelisation, lattice‑Boltzmann simulation, and packaging into ML‑ready tensors, all driven by reproducible configuration files. The pipeline is validated through mesh‑integrity audits, SDF representation checks, solver benchmarks, and data‑integrity audits, and it has been used to train surrogate models (3D U‑Net, FNO, U‑FNO) that learn geometry‑to‑flow mappings and exhibit physically interpretable behaviour on out‑of‑distribution splits.
