Fluid-Gen-Zero is a training-free framework that generates physics-aware fluid-object interaction videos by separating physical reasoning from appearance synthesis. It uses a physics simulator for motion dynamics and a pretrained video generator for visual quality, coordinated through a two-level agentic workflow involving a vision-language model for planning and latent-space guidance for simulation signals. The method improves simulation alignment and fluid flow accuracy across multiple backbones while maintaining perceptual quality, as shown by quantitative metrics and human preference studies.
arXiv:2607. 25321v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Video diffusion models generate visually compelling content but routinely violate elementary physics when the subject involves fluids: liquid columns break apart in mid-air, container water levels fail to rise as liquid is poured in, and splashes disperse without regard to momentum or gravity.
PhysPlan is a training‑free guidance framework that enhances video diffusion models by incorporating physical awareness through agentic physics simulation. It uses a vision‑language model to generate a Chain‑of‑Visual‑Thought representation of kinematic trajectories and 3D depth, which then drives an object‑centric test‑time optimization that isolates kinematic changes and locks the passive environment. The framework also employs Kinetic Intensity Profiling to adapt hyperparameters to varying physical deformations, and demonstrates superior performance on PhyGenBench and Physics‑IQ benchmarks compared to existing VDM baselines.
arXiv:2607. 27380v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-to-video models have achieved remarkable visual quality, yet they still struggle to generate physically consistent dynamics because the temporal evolution of a scene must be inferred implicitly from a highly compressed text prompt.
CompAdapt is a physics-consistent text-to-video generation framework that extends diffusion-based models to handle composite physical behaviors such as coupled motions, multi-stage transitions, and multi-object collisions. It translates natural language prompts into structured physical semantics, enabling end-to-end specification of motion types, temporal relations, and initial parameters. The system introduces dynamics-aware prior matching for one-shot adaptation to new physical environments and a physics-aware latent feature fusion module to enhance visual fidelity during fast, complex motion, outperforming existing physics-constrained baselines on physics-focused T2V benchmarks.
