arXiv:2512.15767v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Simulating complex unsteady physical phenomena relies on detailed mathematical models, simulated for instance by using the Finite Element Method (FEM). However, these models often exhibit discrepancies from the reality due to unmodeled effects or simplifying assumptions. We refer to this gap as the ignorance model. While purely data-driven approaches attempt to learn full system behavior, they require large amounts of high-quality data across the entire spatial and temporal domain. In real-world scenarios, such information is unavailable, mak
The proliferation of advanced AI techniques, particularly Graph Neural Networks, is enabling more sophisticated approaches to integrate data-driven insights with traditional physics-based models for complex systems.
This development represents a critical step towards more accurate and robust digital twins, which are essential for optimizing performance and predicting failures in industrial and scientific applications.
The ability to 'bridge' data and physics models through AI reduces reliance on purely data-driven methods, addressing real-world limitations of data availability while improving model fidelity.
