Phase-aware video generation for physics-grounded dynamics and interactions

arXiv:2610.11791v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generating physically plausible videos for solid-gas dynamics is challenging as different phases exhibit distinct dynamics yet remain coupled through physical interactions. We present PAVG, a Phase-Aware Video Generator for solid-gas dynamics and interactions. It employs a dual-branch architecture to explicitly model the distinct dynamics of solids and gases, while spatiotemporal cross-attention captures their physical interactions. This design enables PAVG to preserve phasespecific motion characteristics while producing physically consistent responses across phases. To facilitate this task, we further construct a simulation corpus comprising over 700K physical trajectories across diverse solid, gas, and solid-gas interaction scenarios. Extensive evaluations demonstrate that our PAVG produces videos with improved motion adherence, physical plausibility, and visual quality compared with existing approaches.
