Learning Flow Distributions via Projection-Constrained Diffusion on Manifolds
We present a generative modeling framework for synthesizing physically feasible two-dimensional incompressible flows under arbitrary obstacle geometries and boundary conditions. Whereas existing diffusion-based flow generators either ignore physical constraints, impose soft penalties that do not guarantee feasibility, or specialize to fixed geometries, our approach integrates three complementary components: (1) a boundary-conditioned diffusion model operating on velocity fields; (2) a physics-informed training objective incorporating a divergence penalty; and (3) a projection-constrained reverse diffusion process that enforces exact incompressibility through […]
