用点云直接生成不规则形状的流体场,精度更高且更鲁棒。

Flow Matching and Diffusion Models via PointNet for Generating Fluid Fields on Irregular Geometries

  • 将PointNet融入流匹配与扩散模型,直接处理点云几何
  • 在圆柱绕流任务中,速度、压力和受力预测更准确
  • 对不完整几何更鲁棒,架构简洁无需额外条件网络

我们提出两种新型生成式几何深度学习框架:Flow Matching PointNet 和 Diffusion PointNet,通过将PointNet分别引入流匹配与扩散模型,实现对不规则几何上流体变量的预测。这些框架通过逆向生成过程,从标准高斯噪声重构物理场,条件为未见几何。方法直接作用于计算域的点云表示(如有限体积网格顶点),避免了传统U-Net类模型依赖均匀格网投影的像素化局限。相比基于图神经网络的扩散模型,本方法无高频噪声伪影;且无需辅助中间网络来编码几何,仅依赖PointNet,结构统一简洁。在改变圆柱截面形状与方向的几何数据集上评估,结果表明该方法在稳态不可压流绕圆柱问题中,对速度场、压力场及升力、阻力的预测更精确,且对不完整几何更具鲁棒性,优于同等参数量的原始PointNet。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present two novel generative geometric deep learning frameworks, termed Flow Matching PointNet and Diffusion PointNet, for predicting fluid flow variables on irregular geometries by incorporating PointNet into flow matching and diffusion models, respectively. In these frameworks, a reverse generative process reconstructs physical fields from standard Gaussian noise conditioned on unseen geometries. The proposed approaches operate directly on point-cloud representations of computational domains (e.g., grid vertices of finite-volume meshes) and therefore avoid the limitations of pixelation used to project geometries onto uniform lattices, as is common in U-Net-based flow matching and diffusion models. In contrast to graph neural network-based diffusion models, Flow Matching PointNet and Diffusion PointNet do not exhibit high-frequency noise artifacts in the predicted fields. Moreover, unlike such approaches, which require auxiliary intermediate networks to condition geometry, the proposed frameworks rely solely on PointNet, resulting in a simple and unified architecture. The performance of the proposed frameworks is evaluated on steady incompressible flow past a cylinder, using a geometric dataset constructed by varying the cylinder's cross-sectional shape and orientation across samples. The results demonstrate that Flow Matching PointNet and Diffusion PointNet achieve more accurate predictions of velocity and pressure fields, as well as lift and drag forces, and exhibit greater robustness to incomplete geometries compared to a vanilla PointNet with the same number of trainable parameters.
