Abstract (arXiv)

The Solar wind is a continuous flow of charged particles emanating from the solar surface and governed by complex, interacting magnetohydrodynamic processes. Accurate specification of inner-boundary conditions is essential for heliospheric modeling and solar-wind prediction. In many practical applications, only a subset of interacting multi-field variables is directly available, but for a comprehensive view of solar wind prediction and downstream magnetohydrodynamic simulations, a more complete boundary state is required. In this work, we study the problem of learning the multi-field multi-scale solar magnetohydrodynamic state at 30 solar radii (R_odot) using operator learning. Specifically, given the radial velocity and radial magnetic field, we aim to reconstruct the non-radial velocity and magnetic field components, radial and non-radial current density, thermodynamic density, and pressure components. This mapping is highly nonlinear, spatially coupled, and multi-scale, making it a challenging task for data-driven scientific machine learning. To address this problem, we employ a Local Neural Operator (LocalNO) that learns mappings between input and output function spaces while retaining locality and resolution-awareness. Unlike conventional regression models and autoencoder models, neural operators are better suited for learning structured field-to-field transformations arising from physical systems. The resulting predictions along with inputs are intended to serve as boundary condition variables for future inner-heliospheric modeling pipelines.
