Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) on meshes have emerged as promising surrogates for computational mechanics, but standard local message passing struggles to propagate information across unstructured meshes, leading to large errors in regions with complex physics (e.g., shocks, wakes, boundary layers). E…
Machine Learning surrogates for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), particularly Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) and Transformers, have become a new important approach for accelerating physics simulations. However, we identify a critical bottleneck in the field: while architectures have advanced signif…
Learning-based surrogates for partial differential equations have recently matched the accuracy of classical solvers while achieving orders-of-magnitude speedups, predominantly in fluid settings and structured geometries. In contrast, robust surrogates for deformable solids remain underexplored, des…
We introduce a novel masked pre-training technique for graph neural networks (GNNs) applied to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) problems. By randomly masking up to 40\% of input mesh nodes during pre-training, we force the model to learn robust representations of complex fluid dynamics. We pair th…
