INC: An Indirect Neural Corrector for Auto-Regressive Hybrid PDE Solvers
- 将神经修正嵌入控制方程而非直接修改状态,减少误差累积
- 在3D湍流中提升长期轨迹精度158.7%,速度提升数个数量级
- 无需特定网络结构,兼容任意神经网络与数值求解器
在偏微分方程模拟中,混合求解器结合粗粒度数值方法与学习型修正器,可在遵守物理规律的前提下加速计算。然而,我们的理论框架显示,直接对求解器输出施加学习修正会引发显著的自回归误差,尤其在混沌区域因扰动放大而随长时间滚动累积。为此,我们提出间接神经修正器(INC),将学习修正整合至控制方程中,而非直接更新状态。关键洞见在于,INC 将误差放大率降至 Δt⁻¹ + L 的量级,其中 Δt 为时间步长,L 为利普希茨常数。该框架无架构限制,可无缝集成任意神经网络与求解器。我们在广泛基准测试中验证了 INC,涵盖多种可微分求解器、神经主干网络及从1D混沌系统到3D湍流的多类案例。结果表明,INC 在长期轨迹性能(R²)上最高提升158.7%,在激进粗化下有效抑制爆破,并在复杂3D湍流场景中实现数个数量级的速度提升。INC 实现了稳定高效的PDE仿真,具备形式化误差控制,为科学与工程模拟提供快速且可靠的物理保障。代码开源地址:https://github.com/tum-pbs/INC
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
When simulating partial differential equations, hybrid solvers combine coarse numerical solvers with learned correctors. They promise accelerated simulations while adhering to physical constraints. However, as shown in our theoretical framework, directly applying learned corrections to solver outputs leads to significant autoregressive errors, which originate from amplified perturbations that accumulate during long-term rollouts, especially in chaotic regimes. To overcome this, we propose the Indirect Neural Corrector ($\mathrm{INC}$), which integrates learned corrections into the governing equations rather than applying direct state updates. Our key insight is that $\mathrm{INC}$ reduces the error amplification on the order of $Δt^{-1} + L$, where $Δt$ is the timestep and $L$ the Lipschitz constant. At the same time, our framework poses no architectural requirements and integrates seamlessly with arbitrary neural networks and solvers. We test $\mathrm{INC}$ in extensive benchmarks, covering numerous differentiable solvers, neural backbones, and test cases ranging from a 1D chaotic system to 3D turbulence. $\mathrm{INC}$ improves the long-term trajectory performance ($R^2$) by up to 158.7%, stabilizes blowups under aggressive coarsening, and for complex 3D turbulence cases yields speed-ups of several orders of magnitude. $\mathrm{INC}$ thus enables stable, efficient PDE emulation with formal error reduction, paving the way for faster scientific and engineering simulations with reliable physics guarantees.
