A new generative framework called Physics-Based Flow Matching (PBFM) has been introduced to embed physical constraints into flow matching objectives.
PBFM jointly minimizes flow matching loss and physics-based residual loss without requiring hyperparameter tuning of their relative weights.
Temporal unrolling during training time is utilized to improve the accuracy of noise-free sample prediction.
Extensive benchmarks on three PDE problems show that PBFM yields up to an 8 times more accurate physical residuals compared to existing algorithms, making it efficient for surrogate modeling and accelerated simulation in physics and engineering applications.
