Abstract
Deep neural network models have shown great potential in accelerating the simulation of fluid dynamic systems. Once trained, these models can make inferences within seconds, thus can be extremely efficient. However, it becomes more difficult for neural networks to make accurate predictions when the flow becomes more chaotic and turbulent at higher Reynolds numbers. One of the most important reasons is that existing models lack the mechanism to handle the unique characteristic of high-Reynolds-number turbulent flow; multi-scale flow structures are nonuniformly distributed and strongly nonequilibrium. In this work, we address this issue with the concept of visual attention: intuitively, we expect the attention module to capture the nonequilibrium of turbulence by automatically adjusting weights on different regions. We compare the model performance against a state-of-the-art neural network model as the baseline, the Fourier neural operator, on a two-dimensional turbulence prediction task. Numerical experiments show that the attention-enhanced neural network model outperforms existing state-of-the-art baselines, and can accurately reconstruct a variety of statistics and instantaneous spatial structures of turbulence at high Reynolds numbers. Furthermore, the attention mechanism provides 40% error reduction with 1% increase in parameters, at the same level of computational cost.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
