GPU-accelerated physics emulators for hypersonic flow prediction
Researchers present a fully GPU-based workflow for building neural network emulators that predict hypersonic flow fields with high fidelity at low computational cost. This addresses a key gap where traditional reduced-order models struggle with shock wave prediction and complex physical phenomena. Relevant for CV practitioners building physics-informed models and deploying inference on GPU infrastructure.
