When engineers want to test the aerodynamic properties of the newly designed shape of a car, airplane, or other object, they would normally model the flow of air around the object by having a computer solve a complex set of equations — a procedure that usually takes hours or even an entire day. Researchers have significantly sped up this process, making streamlines and parameters available in real time. The method uses machine learning to model flow around continuously editable 3D objects.
