GyroSwin is a scalable 5‑dimensional neural surrogate that models nonlinear gyrokinetic plasma turbulence, a key challenge for nuclear fusion research. It extends Vision Transformers to 5D, incorporates cross‑attention and latent 3D↔5D interactions, and uses channelwise mode separation inspired by nonlinear physics. The model outperforms traditional reduced numerics in heat‑flux prediction, captures turbulent energy cascades, and cuts the computational cost of full gyrokinetic simulations by three orders of magnitude while remaining physically verifiable.
Many nonlinear physical systems exhibit an initial transient phase in which perturbations grow before nonlinear interactions lead to a statistically steady state. While this saturated regime is of primary interest, direct numerical simulations must resolve the full transient dynamics before reaching it, incurring significant computational cost.
