Physics-Aware Enhanced Implicit Neural Representation with Multimodal Feature Fusion for Zero-Shot Super-Resolution of Complex Flow Fields

Open access0 citations

Abstract

This study addresses the insufficient representation of key regions, such as shock waves and boundary layers, in classical implicit neural representations (INRs) for super-resolution reconstruction of complex aerodynamic flow fields. A physics-aware enhanced implicit neural representation (PA-INR) framework with multimodal feature fusion is proposed. In this study, multimodal features refer to data-driven deep flow features and physics-derived features, including pressure gradients, velocity divergence, and vorticity. The method improves the basic INR in two aspects: local interpolation and feature representation. Specifically, a shock-aware weight correction module is designed to generate corrected weights by combining local features with geometric information, thereby reducing the erroneous fusion of physical states across shock waves. In addition, a gradient-information feature expansion module fuses the data-driven and physics-derived features to enhance the model representation of high-gradient regions. Experimental results show that, on the dataset and evaluation metrics used in this study, PA-INR outperforms the comparison methods in terms of overall reconstruction error and shock-position error. These results indicate that the proposed multimodal feature fusion strategy can improve reconstruction accuracy in complex-flow super-resolution tasks and enhance the recovery of details in shock and high-gradient regions.
