DynaSolver: A Neural Operator for Autoregressive 4D Flow Prediction with Dynamic Boundaries

Abstract

Neural operators provide efficient surrogates for computational fluid dynamics (CFD), but most are designed for static geometries and are not equipped to model unsteady flows induced by continuously moving boundaries. We study dynamic-boundary 4D CFD prediction for articulated moving geometries and introduce RoboCFD-4D, a temporally resolved robotic CFD benchmark spanning diverse morphologies and flow conditions. To address the computational and autoregressive challenges of this setting, we propose DynaSolver, a neural operator that explicitly conditions on boundary evolution and causal flow history. DynaSolver employs an efficient physical-token formulation that amortizes point-to-token projection across the operator stack, substantially reducing high-resolution spatio-temporal computation while retaining accurate point-level reconstruction. We further introduce Replay-Augmented Parallel Training, which exposes the model to autoregressively generated histories while preserving parallel dense supervision, narrowing the gap between ground-truth-conditioned training and autoregressive rollout. Experiments on RoboCFD-4D show that DynaSolver achieves the best full-rollout accuracy among a broad range of learned CFD surrogates, with its advantage increasing as rollout proceeds, indicating substantially reduced autoregressive error accumulation.

Then back it, or bet against it.
