Abstract:Spreading of liquid droplets on solid substrates constitutes a classic multiphysics problem with widespread applications ranging from inkjet printing, spray cooling, to biomedical microfluidic systems. Yet, accurate computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations are prohibitively expensive, taking more than 18 to 24 hours for each transient computation. In this paper, Physics-Informed Laplace Operator Neural Network (PI-LNO) is introduced, representing a novel architecture where the Laplace integral transform function serves as a learned physics-informed functional basis. Extensive comparative benchmark studies were performed against five other state-of-the-art approaches: UNet, UNet with attention modules (UNet-AM), DeepONet, Physics-Informed UNet (PI-UNet), and Laplace Neural Operator (LNO). Through complex Laplace transforms, PI-LNO natively models the exponential transient dynamics of the spreading process. A TensorFlow-based PI-LNO is trained on multi-surface CFD data spanning contact angles $\theta_s \epsilon [20,160]$, employing a physics-regularized composite loss combining data fidelity (MSE, MAE, RMSE) with Navier-Stokes, Cahn-Hilliard, and causality constraints.
