What is it about?

This paper describes a new method to teach incompressible fluid dynamics to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on a 3D grid. Our method does not rely on any precomputed training data and therefore avoids the need to generate expensive training sets. The resulting CNNs yield fast and stable simulations of incompressible fluids for a wide range of Reynolds numbers, feature the Magnus effect and generalize to new fluid domains that were no covered during training.

Why is it important?

Neural surrogate models promise to drastically speed up fluid simulations. Our method allows to train such models without ground truth data. Trained models work for a wide range of Reynolds numbers, feature the Magnus effect and generalize to new fluid domains.
