Revalidation Beats Stateful Routing for Scientific Surrogates Under Distribution Shift

The study introduces RegimeShift‑Surrogates, a streaming benchmark that tests surrogate models across eight tasks and multiple regimes. It compares revalidation—choosing the model with lowest current‑window validation loss—to stateful adaptive controllers and finds that revalidation consistently outperforms stateful methods, achieving lower mean log regret in most task‑scenario combinations. The results suggest that fresh validation evidence is more valuable than carrying over past evidence when dealing with distribution shifts.

Beyond Compression: Training Latent Representations for Stable Long-Horizon Rollout in Neural Surrogate Solvers

The paper investigates why latent neural surrogate solvers, which compress physical system dynamics into a lower‑dimensional space, often fail during long‑horizon autoregressive rollouts. It demonstrates that training the latent representation only for reconstruction leads to instability, and proposes a set of training interventions—Koopman operator learning, Hamming noise injection, and multi‑step rollout fine‑tuning—that align the latent space with long‑horizon forecasting. These interventions reduce long‑rollout error by about 40 % and achieve accuracy comparable to full‑resolution models while using far fewer floating‑point operations and GPU memory, enabling stable extrapolation in mesoscale crystal‑plasticity simulations of high‑cycle fatigue.

Latent Generative Solvers for Generalizable Long-Term Physics Simulation

The paper introduces the Latent Generative Solver (LGS), a neural PDE solver that combines a Physics VAE, a Pyramidal Flow-Forcing Transformer, and input noising to achieve generalization across twelve PDE families and stable long-term rollouts. LGS matches or surpasses deterministic baselines on one-step predictions, outperforms them on 5- and 10-step rollouts, and significantly reduces long-horizon error while cutting compute costs. It also adapts efficiently to unseen higher-resolution systems, demonstrating strong empirical performance on 2D regular-grid PDE simulations.

ChannelFlow-Tools: A Configuration-Driven Pipeline for Generating Machine-Learning-Ready Datasets of 3D Obstructed Channel Flows

ChannelFlow-Tools is an open‑source, configuration‑driven pipeline that generates machine‑learning‑ready datasets for three‑dimensional obstructed channel flows. It combines procedural obstacle geometry generation across six shape families, signed‑distance‑field voxelisation, lattice‑Boltzmann simulation, and packaging into ML‑ready tensors, all driven by reproducible configuration files. The pipeline is validated through mesh‑integrity audits, SDF representation checks, solver benchmarks, and data‑integrity audits, and it has been used to train surrogate models (3D U‑Net, FNO, U‑FNO) that learn geometry‑to‑flow mappings and exhibit physically interpretable behaviour on out‑of‑distribution splits.
