用分层结构嵌入部分物理知识,提升复杂系统长期预测精度。

Hierarchical Physics-Embedded Learning for Partially Known Spatiotemporal Dynamics

  • 分两层构建神经算子:先学基础物理表达,再学其组合规律。
  • 在相场与实验涡流数据上,长期预测误差降低约70%。
  • 适合物理规律部分已知、需同时实现预测与机理发现的场景。

部分物理知识——已知控制结构但未知本构关系或其组合——广泛存在于时空系统中。现有科学机器学习方法主要依赖数据学习演化过程,将方程作为软约束或硬编码进网络更新,无法有效利用此类知识。本文提出分层物理嵌入自适应傅里叶神经算子,将知识以计算架构形式编码:第一层学习或嵌入基本物理表达作为中间表示,第二层学习或嵌入其控制组合;每层使用自适应傅里叶层捕捉非局部、高阶耦合。理论证明了分层误差分解:嵌入已知组件可消除或缩小其误差项,并带来参数复杂度优势:当层次结构匹配动力学的组合结构时,达到指定精度所需的可学习傅里叶参数数量增长速度严格慢于单层算子。在典型相场系统和实验水翼尾流数据上,该方法相比最先进的物理编码与神经算子基线,长期外推误差降低约70%,同时保持物理形态、能量一致性与谱结构,并在稀疏噪声观测下仍具鲁棒性。分离的中间表示进一步支持在部分指定的偏微分方程中符号恢复未知本构关系。结果表明,分层物理嵌入是一种理论坚实、适用于部分已知且组合化组织的控制律的预测与发现新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Partial physical knowledge--governing structures known, constitutive relations or their combinations not--pervades spatiotemporal systems. Existing scientific machine learning paradigms learn evolution largely from data, impose equations as soft constraints, or hard-code physical terms into network updates; none exploits knowledge of this form. Here we introduce the hierarchical physics-embedded adaptive Fourier neural operator, encoding such knowledge as computational architecture rather than penalizing or appending it: a first level learns or embeds fundamental physical expressions as intermediate representations, and a second level learns or embeds their governing combination, with adaptive Fourier layers capturing nonlocal, high-order couplings at each level. We prove a hierarchical error decomposition--embedding known components removes or shrinks their terms, and a parameter-complexity advantage: when the hierarchy aligns with the compositional structure of the dynamics, the number of learnable Fourier parameters sufficient for a prescribed accuracy grows strictly more slowly than for a single-level operator. Across canonical phase-field systems and experimental hydrofoil wake data, our method reduces long horizon extrapolation errors by up to ~70% relative to state-of-the-art physics encoded and neural operator baselines, while preserving physically meaningful morphology, energetic consistency, and spectral structure, and maintaining robust performance under sparse and noisy observations. The separated intermediate representations further enable symbolic recovery of unknown constitutive relations in partially specified PDEs. These results establish hierarchical physics embedding as a theoretically grounded route to prediction and discovery when governing laws are neither fully known nor absent, but partially known and compositionally organized.
