The paper introduces LatentDDM, a neural operator framework that first pretrains on small subdomains and then adapts to new settings by training only a lightweight composition module. Experiments on steady Darcy flow and unsteady airfoil flow show that this approach reduces error by 36‑56% on larger domains and improves 20‑step rollouts, outperforming capacity‑matched full‑domain models. The study highlights co‑designed local pretraining and composition‑level transfer as a promising design principle for physical foundation models.

The paper introduces Conditional Flow Matching (CFM) for engineering inverse design, comparing it to conditional diffusion models and cGANs on EngiBench structural and thermal benchmarks. CFM outperforms the baselines in cumulative and final optimality gaps, mean volume‑fraction deviation, and throughput, achieving up to 66× faster sample generation with fewer network evaluations. The study demonstrates CFM’s effectiveness as a warm‑start generator for gradient‑based refinement in PDE‑constrained design problems.

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.
