Microdroplet Generator Surrogate Enhancement and Inverse Design Through an Uncertainty-Guided Framework

The paper introduces a unified framework that combines adaptive surrogate modeling with simulation-driven inverse design for microdroplet generators. High‑fidelity Volume‑of‑Fluid simulations supply training data, while neural‑network ensembles predict flow regimes and droplet diameters; ensemble‑based uncertainty quantification identifies critical parameter regions near regime transitions. A physics‑informed enrichment strategy and Particle Swarm Optimization are used to refine the surrogates and perform constrained inverse design, achieving markedly higher prediction accuracy and reliable identification of physically realizable configurations.

Neptuna: A Comprehensive Machine Learning Framework for Benchmarking Complex Multiphase Flows

arXiv:2607. 22280v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Compressible multiphase flows involving shocks and material interfaces arise in applications such as bubble collapse and droplet breakup, where strong nonlinear interactions produce complex interface deformation, mixing, and multiscale dynamics.

Uncertainty-aware Multi-fidelity Closure via Conditional Normalizing Flows

arXiv:2606. 09857v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reduced-order models (ROMs) provide an efficient surrogate for complex multiscale systems, but their predictive accuracy is often compromised by truncation errors and the inadequate representation of interactions between resolved and unresolved scales.

Cross-Domain Pretraining for Steady-State Neural CFD Surrogates

The paper presents cross‑domain pretraining for neural surrogates in steady‑state computational fluid dynamics (CFD). By training models across varied geometries, boundary conditions, and fidelities, the authors show that such pretraining improves zero‑ and few‑shot performance compared to training from scratch or transferring from domain‑specific experts. Finetuning a pretrained cross‑domain model can reduce errors by 2–3× at the same sample size and require eight times fewer samples to reach the same error, with benefits that grow with model size and dataset diversity.
