摘要
Neural surrogates are widely used in scientific machine learning for fast prediction of three-dimensional (3D) thermo-fluid fields. However, generating training data using conventional numerical solvers often incurs substantial computational and storage costs. We propose to train an attention graph neural network by minimizing the finite-volume method (FVM) residuals of the governing equations. These residuals are evaluated directly on the mesh, requiring no labeled data. We evaluate the trained surrogates against computational fluid dynamics (CFD) references and a data-supervised baseline across four scenarios. On the two steady-state benchmarks, each solved on the same mesh as its CFD reference, the FVM-loss model reproduces the reference flow and temperature fields with mean field-averaged normalized root-mean-square errors (nRMSEs) near 3%, including the buoyancy-energy coupling. On the two parametric transient cases, the FVM-loss model attains lower rollout errors than the supervised baseline in almost every field, while avoiding the data-generation cost entirely. These results indicate that the FVM loss can provide a practical training signal for neural surrogates and reduce the model development cost.
