While the movement of fluid through rigid systems is a well-characterized classical problem, predicting the behavior of fluid flow in compliant systems, in which structural deformation and the behavior of the fluid are strongly coupled, remains a challenge. There are many applications related to soft actuators, adaptive structures, and biomedical transport devices in which understanding […]
Neural operator models offer a path toward modeling physical systems at low computational cost by learning mappings between function spaces. However, as mesh sizes and model parameter counts scale up, standard operator architectures face steep computational bottlenecks. In this presentation, I will motivate neural operator design directly from a test-time learning perspective. I will demonstrate […]
