Researchers have developed a new framework to optimize microdroplet generator design, a computationally intensive process due to complex fluid dynamics. This methodology combines adaptive surrogate enhancement with simulation-driven inverse design, using neural network ensembles to predict flow regimes and droplet diameters. Uncertainty quantification highlights sensitive areas near regime transitions, guiding the deployment of additional simulations to improve accuracy. The system, which integrates Particle Swarm Optimization, significantly reduces computational costs and reliably identifies configurations for target droplet sizes. AI
