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 repeated point-space 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.

Controllable diffusion generation often relies on various heuristics that are seemingly disconnected without a unified understanding. We bridge this gap with Diffusion Controller (DiffCon), a unified control-theoretic view that casts reverse diffusion sampling as state-only stochastic control within (generalized) linearly-solvable Markov Decision Processes (LS-MDPs). Under this framework, control acts by reweighting the pretrained reverse-time transition kernels, balancing terminal objectives against an $f$-divergence cost. From the resulting optimality conditions, we derive practical reinforcement learning methods for diffusion fine-tuning: (i) f-divergence-regularized policy-gradient updates, including a PPO-style rule, and (ii) a regularizer-determined reward-weighted regression objective with a minimizer-preservation guarantee under the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence. The LS-MDP framework further implies a principled model form: the optimal score decomposes into a fixed pretrained baseline plus a lightweight control correction, motivating a side-network parameterization conditioned on exposed intermediate denoising outputs, enabling effective gray-box adaptation with a frozen backbone. Experiments on Stable Diffusion v1.4 across supervised and reward-driven finetuning show consistent gains in preference-alignment win rates and improved quality-efficiency trade-offs versus gray-box baselines and even the parameter-efficient white-box adapter LoRA.
