OnlyDense: Reduced-Order Modeling for Lagrangian simulation
- 将粒子系统看作希尔伯特空间中的轨迹,用线性子空间逼近状态
- 仅用32个基函数就实现超过0.99的R²预测精度
- 适合大规模复杂变形与断裂场景的高效模拟
在科学与工程中,光滑粒子流体动力学(SPH)或材料点法(MPM)等拉格朗日模拟方法常用于研究动态系统行为。但这类方法在模拟多尺度时空现象时计算成本极高,例如宏观结构中孔洞生长与合并、航天器部件受高速碎片撞击后的结构失效等。不同于基于图的方法将系统状态视为离散粒子集合,本文提出一种可扩展的表示与动力学建模学习框架:将系统状态视为函数,其演化为希尔伯特空间中的轨迹。通过学习神经基函数构建线性子空间来近似状态空间,避免了非线性隐空间优化。该参数化使潜变量可直接投影获得,且能显式访问基函数,具有明确物理意义——潜变量对应希尔伯特空间系数,基函数对应空间模态,类似于本征正交分解。该框架将经典投影式降阶建模与现代深度学习结合,且对离散点数量不变。在超过一百万粒子的大规模SPH模拟实验中,涵盖极端形变与破碎事件,结果表明该方法能准确重建与预测动力学,仅用32个基函数即达到0.99以上的R²分数。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In science and engineering, Lagrangian simulation methods such as Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) or Material Point Method (MPM) are often employed to study the behavior of dynamic systems. However, these methods can be prohibitively computationally expensive, particularly when simulating multi-scale spatial or temporal phenomena, e.g., void growth and coalescence within macro-scale geometries, structural failure of spacecraft components resulting from hypervelocity impact of space debris particles, etc. In contrast to graph-based methods, where the state of the system is understood as a discrete set of particles, we propose a learning framework for scalable representation and dynamics modeling of massive particle systems by treating the system state as a function and its evolution as a trajectory in Hilbert space. Rather than representing the state as a discrete set of particles or embedding it in a nonlinear latent manifold, we approximate the state space with a linear subspace spanned by learned neural basis functions. This parameterization enables direct projection to obtain latent coefficients and explicit access to the basis functions, avoiding optimization over a nonlinear latent space. The resulting representation admits a natural interpretation: latent variables correspond to coefficients in Hilbert space, and basis functions correspond to spatial modes, analogous to Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. The framework thus unifies classical projection-based reduced-order modeling with modern deep learning, while remaining invariant to the number of discretization points. Experiments on large-scale SPH simulations with over one million particles, including dynamic events with extreme deformation and fragmentation, demonstrate that the proposed method accurately reconstructs and predicts dynamics, achieving an R$^2$ score above $0.99$ with as few as $32$ basis functions.
