RETO: A Rotary-Enhanced Transformer Operator for High-Fidelity Prediction of Automotive Aerodynamics

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.00062v1 Announce Type: cross Rapid aerodynamic evaluation is crucial for modern vehicle design, yet existing neural operators struggle to capture intricate spatial correlations. We propose the rotary-enhanced transformer operator (RETO), a novel neural solver featuring a dual-stage spatial awareness mechanism: sinusoidal-cosine encodings for global referencing and rotary positional encodings (RoPE) for relative displacements. RoPE encodes spatial relations via unitary rotations, enforcing translation invariance and enhancing local gradient resolution.
