PHASE: Multi-Regime Modeling of Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics

Abstract

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is central to plasma modeling in astrophysics, space science, fusion, and engineering, but resolving multiscale MHD dynamics is computationally expensive. Machine-learning surrogates enable fast inference by learning reusable solution operators, yet existing models require separate training for each physical regime, limiting generalization across varying parameter settings. We introduce **PHASE**, a *PHysics-Adaptive Scalable operator with residual Error correction*, designed to model incompressible MHD across varying physical parameters with a single model. PHASE combines transfer learning, regime-aware adaptation, physics-centered learning, and residual refinement to improve both physical fidelity and generalization across MHD regimes. Together, these improvements achieve state-of-the-art prediction accuracy on two-dimensional MHD turbulence by reducing relative () errors on physical fields by more than an order of magnitude compared to prior MHD neural-operator baselines. Moreover, PHASE generalizes successfully to unseen parameter values without retraining, demonstrating the cross-regime adaptability expected from operator learning. We evaluate PHASE beyond pointwise prediction errors using derived physical fields, spectral analysis, and distribution statistics, consistently observing improved physical fidelity. We further show that our framework can accurately simulate MHD instabilities by testing it on the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, demonstrating the robustness of our method.
