Spatio-temporal, multi-field deep learning of shock propagation in meso-structured media

arXiv:2509.16139v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predicting the extreme hydrodynamic response of porous and architected lattice materials is a fundamental challenge in high energy density physics, where shock-induced pore collapse, baroclinic vorticity, and anomalous kinetic and thermodynamic states must be resolved across multiple scales. Traditional high-fidelity hydrocodes are computationally prohibitive for large-scale design exploration in applications like planetary defense and inertial confinement fusion. We present a multi-field spatio-temporal model (MSTM) designed to overcome the
