Input-schema identifiability limits in physics-informed surrogates for mechanics-governed flow
Physics-informed and data-driven surrogates are increasingly used to approximate mechanics-governed flow fields, but the target quantities assigned to such models are not always identifiable from the input variables available at prediction time. We introduce an input-schema identifiability certificate for computational surrogates. Starting from a reduced physical model, the certificate decomposes a target field into components that are measurable from geometry, components that require boundary-condition information, and components identifiable only up to a symmetry quotient. This yields a pre-training audit: it predicts which oracle-channel interventions should reduce error, which should fail, and which ambiguity cannot be removed by changing the architecture, loss, optimizer, or sample size. We instantiate the framework for incompressible tubular flow using a Cosserat-rod reduction, where lumen velocity separates into a mesh-measurable tangent direction, a boundary-condition-dependent magnitude, and a signed-orientation ambiguity. Controlled experiments on patient-specific aortic CFD geometries, analytic Womersley flows, and an advection-diffusion transfer problem confirm the predicted pattern: supplying signed direction collapses angular error to the oracle regime, whereas supplying magnitude without orientation leaves the predicted sign ambiguity and yields 16-33 percent per-node sign flips. The results provide a mechanics-based diagnostic for deciding whether a surrogate modelling task is physically identifiable before training, and expose failure modes that aggregate error metrics can hide.
