软材料在流动条件下的力学建模对工程设计至关重要,通常需求解与变形张量相关的非线性、历史依赖本构关系。传统非牛顿流体动力学数值方法计算成本高,难以扩展至新问题。数据驱动方法虽缓解部分局限,但仍需针对不同物理条件重新训练。本文提出Rheological Operator Transformer(RheOFormer),一种基于自注意力的生成式算子学习方法,可高效捕捉复杂流体流动中的空间交互与特征。我们在多种剪切流与非剪切流场景下,涵盖不同粘弹性及弹粘塑性力学,在复杂域中与真实解对比验证。结果表明,RheOFormer能准确学习不同复杂流体的标量与张量非线性力学,并预测其时空演化,即使在小规模数据集上训练亦表现优异。其强大的泛化能力与计算效率使其成为加速预测性复杂流体模拟的可靠神经代理模型,推动数据驱动实验发展,支持广泛应用场景下的实时过程优化。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The ability to model mechanics of soft materials under flowing conditions is key in designing and engineering processes and materials with targeted properties. This generally requires solution of internal stress tensor, related to the deformation tensor through nonlinear and history-dependent constitutive models. Traditional numerical methods for non-Newtonian fluid dynamics often suffer from prohibitive computational demands and poor scalability to new problem instances. Developments in data-driven methods have mitigated some limitations but still require retraining across varied physical conditions. In this work, we introduce Rheological Operator Transformer (RheOFormer), a generative operator learning method leveraging self-attention to efficiently learn different spatial interactions and features of complex fluid flows. We benchmark RheOFormer across a range of different viscometric and non-viscometric flows with different types of viscoelastic and elastoviscoplastic mechanics in complex domains against ground truth solutions. Our results demonstrate that RheOFormer can accurately learn both scalar and tensorial nonlinear mechanics of different complex fluids and predict the spatio-temporal evolution of their flows, even when trained on limited datasets. Its strong generalization capabilities and computational efficiency establish RheOFormer as a robust neural surrogate for accelerating predictive complex fluid simulations, advancing data-driven experimentation, and enabling real-time process optimization across a wide range of applications.
