SHIFT‑Truck is the first high‑fidelity aerodynamics dataset and benchmark specifically for pickup trucks, comprising 1,000 Spalart‑Allmaras delayed detached‑eddy simulations of a reference truck geometry morphed across 17 shape parameters. Each simulation uses a ~100‑million‑cell mesh at a Reynolds number of 1.4×10⁷ and provides time‑averaged surface pressure, wall shear stress, volumetric pressure, and velocity data, verified by grid refinement, repeated runs, and wind‑tunnel measurements. The benchmark defines geometry‑grouped splits and evaluates four neural surrogates—DoMINO, GeoTransolver, AB‑UPT, and SMART—on surface and volume tracks, while also introducing controlled distribution shifts in operating point, surface discretization, and vehicle archetype to test generalization.

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.
