arXiv:2605. 29283v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recent physics foundation models claim general spatiotemporal forecasting ability, yet their evaluations often collapse performance into a single average score under a fixed training distribution.
arXiv:2503.19081v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scientific foundation models (SciFMs) aim to learn generalizable representations of physical systems governed by partial differential equations (PD...
arXiv:2611. 07666v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) is of fundamental importance in fields such as inertial confinement fusion and supernova explosions, and its evolution is commonly described by potential--flow theory and buoyancy--drag models.
Generative AI emulators are increasingly used in scientific domains where we already have strong theory, benchmarks, and physical intuition. This raises a central evaluation and interpretability question: when a foundation-style model can reproduce known continuum dynamics, what internal mechanism supports that behavior, is the internal behaviour consistent with known physics, and how does it relate to where the emulator succeeds or fails?
arXiv:2608. 04222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Turbulence is a central testbed for machine learning on physical dynamics because its governing laws are known exactly.
The paper introduces a world model that learns to predict the evolution of physical systems while respecting key physical principles. By hard‑coding a general structure—generating dynamics from the gradient of a learned energy via a fixed reversible operator and imposing constraints on energy, dissipation, and interventions—the model achieves second‑law compatible dissipation, accurate responses to parameter changes, long‑term stability, and robustness to disturbances. Experiments on an electromagnetic cavity, a particle‑in‑cell grid, and shallow‑water fluid demonstrate that the model can recover accurate constitutive functions, distinguish conserving from dissipating regimes, and transfer learned physics to unseen conditions, outperforming unconstrained models.
