The paper presents a method that combines flow‑matching models with energy‑based modeling to explicitly construct scalar energy functions for physical fields. These energies are derived from a matching regression objective on a linear Gaussian interpolation, avoiding variational approximations or extra MCMC steps, and can be used for energy‑corrected data generation, out‑of‑distribution detection, and posterior sampling in inverse problems. The approach enables general MCMC samplers that reduce PDE residuals and spectral distance, and it demonstrates that combining data‑driven and physics‑based energies improves OOD detection accuracy.
