Diffusion-corrected Autoregressive Fourier Neural Operator for Droplet Evolution Prediction

Jinghao Cao, Minsung Kang, Hongyue Sun, Chi Zhou, Jihoon Chung, Xubo Yue, Sanchoy Das, Bo Shen

Predicting droplet evolution in material jetting, or Inkjet Printing (IJP), is essential for maintaining printing quality. However, long-horizon forecasts remain challenging due to error accumulation and the complex coupling of process variables. In this work, we introduce the Diffusion-corrected Auto-Regressive Fourier Neural Operator (DiffARFNO), a two-stage framework that combines an autoregressive Fourier-MIONet with a conditional Denoising Diffusion Implicit Model (DDIM) corrector. Fourier-MIONet is trained as a coarse predictor and deployed autoregressively for long-horizon forecasting. In the second stage, a DDIM-based conditional corrector refines the coarse prediction within each sliding window through efficient iterative denoising. By combining coarse predictions from Fourier-MIONet with a DDIM corrector that restores fine details, DiffARFNO aims to provide high-fidelity predictions for long-horizon forecasts. Extensive experiments on droplet datasets from ANSYS Fluent demonstrate that DiffARFNO significantly outperforms existing state-of-the-art models.
