Open Multimodal Datasets and Open-Source Software for Data-Driven Modeling of Multiphase Transport and Thermal Systems

arXiv:2605.23037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data-driven modeling is becoming central to multiphase transport, electronics cooling, acoustic diagnostics, and thermal-fluid digital twins, but progress is limited by fragmented datasets and raw instrument files that are difficult to decode, reuse, or benchmark. This paper presents an open ecosystem of multimodal datasets and open-source software packages developed by the Nano Energy and Data-Driven Discovery (NED3) Laboratory for reproducible AI-enabled thermal-fluid research. We introduce a spatial-plus-temporal dimensionality framework, deno
