FSAN: Flow State Attention Network for Aerodynamic Prediction

- 将几何表面按流态分块,动态融合局部流场信息
- 在两个基准数据集上误差降低超10%,最高降幅达20%
- 适合需要高精度实时气动分析的飞行器与车辆设计场景
精确的气动预测对设计节能安全的交通工具(如飞机和汽车)至关重要,但传统的计算流体动力学(CFD)模拟成本高昂且依赖专业知识,严重限制了其在迭代设计和实时分析中的应用。现有深度学习代理模型存在两大缺陷:(i) 评估数据集的流况范围狭窄,无法验证复杂流况下的性能;(ii) 将全局流况作为单一向量均匀注入所有表面点,忽略了不同几何区域经历的局部流体现象差异,导致复杂流况下精度下降。为此,我们提出流态注意力网络(FSAN)。FSAN分别编码点云与流况,通过可学习软分配将几何划分为多个流态,并利用流特征更新这些状态表示,进而影响点云特征。这种机制实现几何与流场间细粒度的状态特异性交互。在两个公认的气动基准测试中,实验表明FSAN在计算成本较高的前提下达到最优精度:在Emmi-Wing上,相对L2误差较最强基线Transolver降低超过20%;在DrivAerNet++上,较最强基线AdaField降低10%。结果证明FSAN是具有多样流况与几何的公开基准上的有前景神经代理。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate aerodynamic prediction is critical for designing fuel-efficient and safe transportation systems such as aircraft and automobiles, yet traditional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations remain computationally expensive and expertise-intensive, severely limiting their use in iterative design and real-time analysis. Existing deep learning surrogates suffer from two major limitations: (i) they are evaluated on datasets with narrow flow-condition ranges, leaving their performance under complex flow conditions undemonstrated; (ii) they treat global flow conditions as a single vector injected uniformly across all surface points, ignoring that different geometric regions experience distinct local flow phenomena, which degrades prediction accuracy under complex flow conditions. To address these limitations, we propose the Flow State Attention Network (FSAN). FSAN separately encodes point cloud and flow conditions, then partitions the geometry into multiple flow states via learnable soft assignments, and uses flow features to update these state representations, which in turn influence point cloud features through state changes. This enables fine-grained, state-specific interaction between geometry and flow information. Extensive experiments on two well-recognized aerodynamic benchmarks demonstrate that FSAN achieves the highest accuracy among the methods compared in this work at a higher computational cost. On Emmi-Wing, FSAN reduces the Relative L2 (REL-L2) error by over 20\% compared to the strongest baseline (Transolver), and on DrivAerNet++, it achieves a 10\% reduction compared to the strongest baseline (AdaField). These results establish FSAN as a promising neural surrogate on public benchmarks with diverse flow conditions and geometries.
