NeuralCFD

NeuralCFD leverages Anchored-Branched Universal Physics Transformers (AB-UPT) to tackle the key challenges of industrial automotive CFD - complex raw geometries, meshes with >100 M cells, and strict physical constraints. By decoupling geometry encoding (via a multi-branch operator) from physics prediction (via anchor attention), we achieve mesh-independent simulation directly from CAD without costly re-meshing.

This approach yields state-of-the-art accuracy on surface pressure, volumetric velocity, and divergence-free vorticity for meshes up to 150 M cells, trains in less than 24 hours on a single NVIDIA H100 GPU, and infers full 3D fields in seconds.

Mesh-Agnostic Geometry
By decoupling geometry encoding from physics prediction, AB-UPT ingests raw CAD (STL/STEP) directly — no re-meshing required, even on highly complex automotive parts.
Anchor-Based Scalability
Anchor attention limits quadratic costs to a small set of "anchor" tokens, where all other tokens ("query tokens") only add linear compute costs. This allows handling of 100 M+ mesh cells on a single GPU.
High-Accuracy Aerodynamic Predictions
The model achieves near-perfect accuracy in predicting critical aerodynamic metrics such as drag and lift coefficients. Its precision on massive surface meshes sets a new standard for automotive aerodynamics simulation.
Accurate Volumetric Predictions
AB-UPT delivers industry-scale volumetric accuracy, predicting 3D velocity fields and volumetric vorticity on meshes up to 140 M cells — outperforming all neural-surrogate baselines — while inferring full volume fields in seconds on a single GPU.
Physics-By-Construction
Our model inherently enforces ∇·ω = 0, so vorticity predictions are exactly divergence-free by design — no penalty terms needed.
