contents Nonlinear manifold learning (ML) based reduced-order models (ROMs) can substantially improve the quality of nonlinear flow-field modeling. However, noise and the lack of physical information often distort the dimensionality-reduction process, reducing the robustness and accuracy of flow-field prediction. To address this problem, we propose a novel manifold learning ROM with implicit physics embedding (IPE-ML). Starting from data-driven manifold coordinates, we incorporate physical parameters (e.g., angle of attack, Mach number) into manifold coordinates system by minimizing the prediction error of Gaussian process regression (GPR) model, thereby fine-tuning the manifold structure. These adjusted coordinates are then used to construct a flow-fields prediction model that predict nonlinear flow-field more accurately. The method is validated on two test cases: transonic flow-field modeling of the RAE2822 and supersonic flow-field modeling of the hexagon airfoil. The results indicate that the proposed IPE-ML can significantly improve the overall prediction accuracy of nonlinear flow fields. In transonic case, shock-related errors have been notably reduced, while in supersonic case the method can confine errors to small local regions. This study offers a new perspective on embedding physical information into nonlinear ROMs.
