工业时间序列信号(如航空发动机的涡轮温度和转速)对复杂动态系统状态监测至关重要,但受高温高压等严苛环境及实验成本限制,真实数据采集困难。为此,我们提出PhysDGM,一种分步嵌入物理规律的扩散生成模型,用于生成符合动态系统物理法则的时间序列数据。该模型将物理定律直接融入生成过程的每一步反向扩散,确保轨迹层面的物理一致性,而非仅在输出端施加约束。利用PhysDGM构建的大规模人工智能合成数据集(440万样本,扩大20倍)在涵盖涡扇发动机、航空发动机、电池与化工过程的34个数据集上均表现出强保真度。融合合成数据后,剩余使用寿命预测性能提升48%,健康指标估计提升15%,电池状态评估提升22%,故障诊断提升20%。同时,所需训练数据仅为现有方法的1/10至1/20,显著降低动态系统数据采集成本。此外,通过引入合成数据,成功实现对航空发动机早期故障的识别。综上,PhysDGM为生成物理一致的工业时间序列提供了坚实基础,推动物理引导型AI在数据稀缺场景(如工业机械与复杂化学反应动力学)中的应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Industrial time-series signals, such as turbine temperature and rotational speed in aero-engines, are essential for monitoring the health and operational status of complex dynamical systems. However, collecting such data is often limited by harsh environments (e.g., high temperature and high pressure) and the high cost of experimental testing. To address this challenge, we introduce PhysDGM, a stepwise physics-embedded diffusion generative model for synthesizing time-series data that are consistent with the underlying physical laws of dynamical systems. PhysDGM embeds physical laws directly into each reverse diffusion step of the generative process, ensuring trajectory-level physical consistency, rather than enforcing constraints only at the final output. A large-scale AI-synthetic dataset (4.4 million samples, 20x scale-up) constructed by PhysDGM demonstrates strong fidelity across 34 datasets spanning turbofan engines, aero-engines, batteries, and chemical processes. After incorporating the synthetic data, the downstream task performance substantially surpassed that using real data alone by 48% for remaining useful life prediction, 15% for health indicator estimation, 22% for state-of-health assessment, and 20% for fault diagnosis. Moreover, it requires 10-20x less training data than existing approaches, substantially reducing the high cost of data collection in dynamical systems. We further demonstrate PhysDGM's potential in identifying early-stage faults in aero-engines by incorporating AI-synthesized data. In summary, PhysDGM provides a solid foundation for generating physically consistent industrial time-series, paving the way for expanding physics-guided AI into diverse data-scarce environments, including both industrial machinery and complex chemical reaction dynamics.
