contents In complex engineering systems such as electro-thermal-fluid coupling, rapid and accurate prediction of multi-physics fields is essential for advanced applications like digital twins and real-time condition monitoring. Traditional numerical methods often suffer from high computational latency, whereas standard Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) frequently fail to capture critical local features, such as irregular interfaces, localized high-gradient regions, and multi-peak transport structures. To address these limitations and provide high-fidelity intelligent predictions for engineering decision-making, this paper proposes a Residual-Attention Physics-Informed Neural Network (RA-PINN) as a powerful surrogate modeling engine. The proposed method incorporates residual learning and attention enhancement into the network backbone to improve the representation of oblique transition structures, narrow charge layers, and distributed hotspots while strictly preserving global field consistency. To evaluate its effectiveness as an intelligent prediction framework, three representative benchmark cases are constructed, including an oblique asymmetric interface, a bipolar high-gradient charge layer, and a multi-peak Gaussian charge migration field. Under unified training settings, the proposed RA-PINN is systematically compared with a standard pure PINN and an LSTM-PINN in terms of average error, local maximum error, structural similarity, and convergence behavior. The results show that RA-PINN consistently achieves the best overall performance across all benchmark cases, demonstrating its tremendous potential as a highly reliable core inference engine for the condition monitoring and digital twin modeling of complex multi-physics engineering systems.
