A Fast and Generalizable Fourier Neural Operator-Based Surrogate for Melt-Pool Prediction in Laser Processing

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2602.06241v3 Announce Type: replace High-fidelity simulations of laser welding capture complex thermo-fluid phenomena, including phase change, free-surface deformation, and keyhole dynamics,. however. their computational cost limits large-scale process exploration and real-time use. In this work we present the Laser Processing Fourier Neural Operator (LP-FNO), a Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) based surrogate model that learns the parametric solution operator of various laser processes from multiphysics simulations generated with FLOW-3D WELD (registered.
