However, the application of these models, particularly the scale-dependent dynamic Smagorinsky model, to turbulent flows of non-Newtonian fluids remains largely unexplored.

Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) have been extensively applied to predict partial differential equations (PDEs) and can be used to simulate physical systems. Nevertheless, when their solutions exhibit high-dimensional nonlinear characteristics, the accuracy of PINNs can decrease significantly. To enhance the predictive capability of PINNs for high-order complex dynamical systems, this study proposes a novel PINNs architecture integrated with Residual Network (ResNet) blocks. The framework addresses critical challenges such as gradient vanishing through identity mappings when employing deep network structures, thereby enabling effective capture of rapidly varying solutions in physical fields. To validate the performance of the PINNs with ResNet blocks, numerical experiments are conducted on the chaotic Lorenz system, the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation in a chaotic state, and the Navier-Stokes equation. These results are compared with those obtained using a PINNs framework that is based on multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). The results indicate that the PINNs with ResNet blocks exhibit stronger prediction capabilities and robustness than the PINNs framework based on MLPs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"485 ","pages":"Article 135040"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145578350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Peregrine soliton (transient rogue wave) and Akhmediev breather (periodic modulation) show remarkable spatiotemporal localization in NLSE numerical solutions. Plasma density variations cause mechanical strains beyond material cohesion limitations, causing nanoscale surface deformation under ion irradiation. Our results provide a plasma parameter-based paradigm for nanostructure morphology control in plasma-assisted nanofabrication and space plasma settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20050,"journal":{"name":"Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena","volume":"485 ","pages":"Article 135027"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145616188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
