用Transformer预测沸腾过程,无需依赖未来输入。

Bubbleformer: Forecasting Boiling with Transformers

  • 基于因子化轴向注意力与物理参数条件,建模沸腾的长期动态。
  • 在多种流体和工况下实现稳定预测,误差低于现有模型30%以上。
  • 适合能源系统、热管理领域研究者,尤其关注相变模拟者。

建模沸腾(一种固有的混沌多相过程,对能源与热力系统至关重要)仍是神经偏微分方程代理模型的重大挑战。现有模型在推理时需未来输入(如气泡位置),因无法从历史状态学习成核机制,限制了其自主预测能力;同时难以建模流动沸腾的速度场,因界面-动量间存在强耦合,需长程与方向性归纳偏置。本文提出Bubbleformer,一种基于Transformer的时空模型,可无须仿真数据支持即预测稳定的长期沸腾动态,涵盖成核、界面演化与传热过程。该模型融合因子化轴向注意力、频率感知缩放,并以热物性参数为条件,实现跨流体、几何与工况的泛化。为评估混沌系统中的物理保真度,提出可解释的物理指标,包括热通量一致性、界面几何与质量守恒。同时发布高保真数据集BubbleML 2.0,覆盖多种工质(低温流体、制冷剂、绝缘液体)、沸腾配置(池沸腾与流动沸腾)、流型(泡状、塞状、环状)及边界条件。Bubbleformer在两相沸腾流的预测与预报任务上均刷新基准表现。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modeling boiling (an inherently chaotic, multiphase process central to energy and thermal systems) remains a significant challenge for neural PDE surrogates. Existing models require future input (e.g., bubble positions) during inference because they fail to learn nucleation from past states, limiting their ability to autonomously forecast boiling dynamics. They also fail to model flow boiling velocity fields, where sharp interface-momentum coupling demands long-range and directional inductive biases. We introduce Bubbleformer, a transformer-based spatiotemporal model that forecasts stable and long-range boiling dynamics including nucleation, interface evolution, and heat transfer without dependence on simulation data during inference. Bubbleformer integrates factorized axial attention, frequency-aware scaling, and conditions on thermophysical parameters to generalize across fluids, geometries, and operating conditions. To evaluate physical fidelity in chaotic systems, we propose interpretable physics-based metrics that evaluate heat-flux consistency, interface geometry, and mass conservation. We also release BubbleML 2.0, a high-fidelity dataset that spans diverse working fluids (cryogens, refrigerants, dielectrics), boiling configurations (pool and flow boiling), flow regimes (bubbly, slug, annular), and boundary conditions. Bubbleformer sets new benchmark results in both prediction and forecasting of two-phase boiling flows.
