Transolver-3: Scaling Up Transformer Solvers to Industrial-Scale Geometries

While neural PDE solvers have demonstrated significant potential for accelerating engineering simulations, existing architectures remain constrained by high memory consumption and the single node bottleneck, where the maximum processable mesh resolution is strictly limited by the VRAM of a single compute unit. To address these challenges, we propose PGD-NO, a neural operator with Precomputed Geometry Decomposition, that relocates the computational overhead of geometric encoding to a deterministic pre-computation phase. By utilizing an iterative geometry decomposition algorithm to extract geometry tokens, our model decouples feature extraction from solution querying. This architecture enables linear memory scalability, allowing high fidelity learning on meshes exceeding 10 million nodes, a scale where existing architectures typically encounter memory exhaustion. PGD-NO demonstrates competitive predictive accuracy across diverse industrial benchmarks and provides intrinsic interpretability through attention mechanisms. By effectively overcoming traditional mesh-size constraints, PGD-NO offers a robust and efficient solution for the next generation of large-scale, high-fidelity industrial design applications.

Conventional patchified Transformers operate on uniform spatial partitions, distributing computational effort evenly across the domain irrespective of local features. This inflexible tokenization scheme is inherently limited in its ability to efficiently represent and process solutions to complex PDEs. To address this, we propose MeshTok, an adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)-inspired tokenization and sequence modeling framework. This method selectively refines spatial regions exhibiting sharp gradients, transient features, or multiscale structures, generating a heterogeneous set of multiscale tokens defined on a fixed simulation grid. These tokens are processed within a unified Transformer sequence, enabling the model to simultaneously capture coarse-grained global context and fine-grained local details without requiring specialized architectural components. Although adaptive refinement moderately increases token count, it promotes a more targeted allocation of computational resources to physically informative regions, which we view as a practical inductive bias rather than a formal optimality guarantee. Experimental evaluations across multiple PDE families and benchmark datasets demonstrate that MeshTok consistently improves the efficiency-accuracy trade-off compared to uniform-grid baselines. This suggests adaptive multiscale tokenization as a scalable and generalizable design principle for neural PDE modeling. Code is available at https://github.com/SCAILab-USTC/MeshTok.

While Transformers have demonstrated remarkable potential in modeling Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), modeling large-scale unstructured meshes with complex geometries remains a significant challenge. Existing efficient architectures often employ feature dimensionality reduction strategies, which inadvertently induces Geometric Aliasing, resulting in the loss of critical physical boundary information. To address this, we propose the Physics-Geometry Operator Transformer (PGOT), designed to reconstruct physical feature learning through explicit geometry awareness. Specifically, we propose Spectrum-Preserving Geometric Attention (SpecGeo-Attention). Utilizing a ``physics slicing-geometry injection" mechanism, this module incorporates multi-scale geometric encodings to explicitly preserve multi-scale geometric features while maintaining linear computational complexity $O(N)$. Furthermore, PGOT dynamically routes computations to low-order linear paths for smooth regions and high-order non-linear paths for shock waves and discontinuities based on spatial coordinates, enabling spatially adaptive and high-precision physical field modeling. PGOT achieves consistent state-of-the-art performance across four standard benchmarks and excels in large-scale industrial tasks including airfoil and car designs.
