Simulating fuel sloshing within aircraft tanks during flight is crucial for aircraft safety research. Traditional methods based on Navier-Stokes equations are computationally expensive. In this paper, we treat fluid motion as point cloud transformation and propose the first neural network method specifically designed for simulating fuel sloshing in aircraft. This model is also the first deep learning model capable of stably modeling fluid particle dynamics in such complex scenarios. Our triangle feature fusion design achieves an optimal balance among fluid dynamics modeling, momentum conservation constraints, and global stability control. Additionally, we constructed the Fueltank dataset, the first dataset for aircraft fuel surface sloshing. It comprises 320,000 frames across four typical tank types and covers a wide range of flight maneuvers, including multi-directional rotations. We conducted comprehensive experiments on both our dataset and the take-off scenario of the aircraft. Compared to existing neural network-based fluid simulation algorithms, we significantly enhanced accuracy while maintaining high computational speed. Compared to traditional SPH methods, our speed improved approximately 10 times. Furthermore, compared to traditional fluid simulation software such as Flow3D, our computation speed increased by more than 300 times.

Thanka murals are important cultural heritages of Tibet, but many precious murals were damaged during history. Thanka mural restoration is very important for the protection of Tibetan cultural heritage. Partial convolution has great potential for Thanka mural restoration due to its outstanding performance for inpainting irregular holes. However, three challenges prevent the existing partial convolution-based methods from solving Thanka restoration problems: 1) the features of multi-scale objects in Thanka murals cannot be extracted correctly because of single-scale partial convolution; 2) the stroke-like Thanka inpainting mode cannot be effectively simulated and learned by existing rectangular or arbitrary masks; and 3) the original content of damaged Thanka murals cannot be restored. To resolve these problems, we propose a Thanka mural inpainting method based on multi-scale adaptive partial convolution and stroke-like masks. The proposed method consists of three parts: 1) a kernel-level multi-scale adaptive partial convolution (MAPConv) to accurately discriminate valid pixels from invalid pixels, and to extract the features of multi-scale objects; 2) a parameter-configurable stroke-like mask generation method to simulate and learn the stroke-like Thanka inpainting mode; and 3) a 2-phase learning framework based on MAPConv Unet and different loss functions to restore the original content of Thanka murals. Experiments on both simulated and real damages of Thanka murals demonstrated that our approach works well on a small dataset (N=2780), generates realistic mural content, and restores the damaged Thanka murals with high speed (600 ms for multiple holes in 512×512 images). The proposed end-to-end method can be applied to other small datasets-based inpainting tasks.
