Physics-Adaptive Digital Twin with Neural-Operator Reduced-Order Modelling
Abstract: This study proposes a novel Physics-Adaptive Digital Twin with Neural-Operator Reduced-Order Modelling (PADT-NO) framework for predictive modelling of complex, nonlinear, and multiscale fluid flows. The proposed mathematical framework integrates fundamental conservation laws, Navier–Stokes dynamics, physics-constrained neural operators, adaptive reduced-order modelling, and uncertainty-aware state estimation within a unified computational architecture. Unlike conventional computational fluid dynamics and purely data-driven approaches, the proposed model dynamically couples high-fidelity physical information with a low-dimensional latent …
