Learning Stiffness Dependent Fluid Structure Dynamics from Coarse Flow Representations

arXiv:2609.26816v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper develops a data-driven framework for long-term prediction of fluid--structure interaction (FSI) dynamics, focusing on the flow-induced vibration (FIV) of a flexible plate. A stiffness-conditioned neural evolution operator jointly represents the Eulerian flow field and Lagrangian structural state. The plate is represented by 101 ordered structural tokens carrying nodal coordinates and velocities, with nondimensional bending stiffness as a global conditioning variable. Bidirectional cross-attention couples fluid and structural representations within a hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture. Trained with staged multi-step autoregressive rollouts and symmetry-reflected trajectories, a single operator captures three stiffness-dependent response regimes: deflected--flapping, deflected, and flapping. The predicted trajectories preserve the principal flow structures, structural oscillations, and dominant frequencies, while blind 1000-step rollouts remain bounded. The operator also interpolates to stiffness values excluded from training. To reduce sensitivity to under-resolved near-wall gradients in force reconstruction, we develop a differentiable aerodynamic-force module based on the derivative-moment transformation (DMT). Conventional wall-stress surface integrals are replaced by an enclosed 2D curve integral around the core vortex region, enabling accurate reconstruction of lift and drag. A Signed Distance Function (SDF) and smoothed Dirac-delta formulation make the integration fully differentiable while preserving gradient flow. The proposed framework provides an accurate and differentiable surrogate for stiffness-dependent FSI dynamics, enabling efficient parameter studies and future stiffness optimization for flow-
