A Physics-Regulated Neural Framework for Learning 3D Grain Growth Dynamics

arXiv:2607.04680v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Grain growth is governed by the reduction in grain boundary energy and exhibits well-established statistical scaling laws. Developing data-driven surrogates that preserve these physical invariants while remaining computationally scalable remains challenging, especially in 3D. We present 3D-PRIMME (Physics-Regulated Interpretable Machine Learning for Microstructure Evolution) for learning three-dimensional grain growth dynamics. The model is trained using only two consecutive time steps yet accurately reproduces the linear coarsening law and prese
