HiLiftAeroML is the first open high‑fidelity CFD dataset focused on high‑lift aircraft aerodynamics, comprising 1,800 simulations across 180 variants of the NASA Common Research Model and ten angles of attack from 4° to 22°. Each case uses a GPU‑accelerated explicit wall‑modeled LES on grids of 300–500 million cells, covering attached, separated, and post‑stall flow conditions. The dataset, released under CC‑BY‑4.0, includes geometries, time‑averaged fields, integrated loads, validation data, and benchmark splits, and is accompanied by baseline models that perform well on interpolation and held‑out geometry tests but still struggle with high‑angle separated flow and out‑of‑distribution regimes.

arXiv:2608. 07161v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Simulating complex fluid flows requires capturing full equilibrium distributions rather than just mean trajectories, yet high-fidelity solvers remain computationally prohibitive.

ChannelFlow-Tools is an open‑source, configuration‑driven pipeline that generates machine‑learning‑ready datasets for three‑dimensional obstructed channel flows. It combines procedural obstacle geometry generation across six shape families, signed‑distance‑field voxelisation, lattice‑Boltzmann simulation, and packaging into ML‑ready tensors, all driven by reproducible configuration files. The pipeline is validated through mesh‑integrity audits, SDF representation checks, solver benchmarks, and data‑integrity audits, and it has been used to train surrogate models (3D U‑Net, FNO, U‑FNO) that learn geometry‑to‑flow mappings and exhibit physically interpretable behaviour on out‑of‑distribution splits.

Industrial design in fields such as vehicle and aerospace engineering often relies on large-scale numerical simulations to evaluate fluid dynamics performance, which can incur substantial computational costs. Deep neural networks have shown promise in improving simulation efficiency, especially graph neural networks (GNNs), which demonstrate great potential due to their flexibility with unstructured data.
