1D-FNO - Residual convolutional neural network autoregressive prediction model for deep water wave train evolution based on high-order spectral (HOS) data

Accurate prediction of deep-water wave dynamics is essential for ocean engineering, meteorology, and maritime safety. Traditional physical models, though effective, face significant computational and time challenges with complex nonlinear dynamics. This study introduces an autoregressive prediction model using a one-dimensional adaptive Fourier Neural Operator-Residual Convolutional Neural Network (1D-FNO-ResNet) to enhance prediction accuracy. We developed a high-precision single-step prediction model capable of capturing wave characteristics such as height and fluid particle velocity. A fine-tuning training strategy based on multi-step prediction errors was proposed for autoregressive evolution. Performance comparisons between the ResNet and FNO-ResNet models were made under various fine-tuning steps. A correction model was also introduced to control error accumulation, improving autoregressive prediction steps. The model's generalization performance was validated with modulated and random wave trains under different conditions, optimizing predictive stability and accuracy. This approach demonstrates efficient 1D deep-water wave evolution prediction, offering a novel deep learning solution for wave dynamics prediction in ocean engineering, supporting wave energy conversion device design and optimization.
