Emergent Transfer of a Physics Foundation Model from Simulation to Laboratory Turbulence
Researchers successfully deployed a physics foundation model trained on simulations to predict laboratory turbulence behavior, achieving zero-shot generalization to experimental data without direct exposure to lab conditions. The model resolved a decades-old discrepancy between simulated and experimental Rayleigh-Taylor instability measurements, suggesting initial conditions—not fundamental physics—explain the sim-experiment gap.
