• Abstract: Accurate modeling of the divertor temperature field is essential for preventing material melting and damage and for extending the service life of fusion devices. However, conventional numerical methods, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM), are computationally expensive and therefore unsuitable for real-time applications. Therefore, a fast and generalizable method is required for real-time reconstruction of the divertor temperature field and subsequent real-time control. To address the above issue, we propose a Physics-aware Neural Operator Transformer (PNOT) to characterize the spatiotemporal evolution of the divertor temperature field. It models boundary heat-flux relations as a structured graph and employs graph attention to explicitly capture spatial physical dependencies. Inspired by physics-aware attention, we further develop a physics-aware neural operator module to aggregate query points with similar physical conditions via slicing and model heat diffusion, while a gradient-constrained Sobolev regularization loss enforces consistency between function values and their derivatives. Experimental results show that these physical constraints improve prediction accuracy while preserving physical consistency.
