| contents | Accurate reconstruction of localized extreme structures remains a critical bottleneck in the physics-informed modeling of electro-thermal-convective flows. Although conventional physics-informed neural networks effectively capture smooth global dynamics, they frequently suffer from numerical diffusion and distortion when attempting to resolve sharp charge boundary layers or abrupt multiphase interfaces. To address these limitations, we propose a Residual-Attention Physics-Informed Neural Network (RA-PINN) that embeds gated attention modulation within a residual feature framework to adaptively enhance local sensitivity to steep physical gradients. The proposed architecture is rigorously evaluated against standard and recurrent network baselines using canonical electrohydrodynamic scenarios, encompassing near-electrode exponential boundary layers and sharply concentrated charge fields. Quantitative analyses demonstrate that the RA-PINN significantly reduces localized errors and faithfully preserves critical interface topologies without compromising the global consistency dictated by the coupled governing equations. Ultimately, this methodology establishes a highly robust predictive framework for resolving complex interfacial and boundary layer phenomena in advanced fluid dynamics applications. |
