This paper describes the first-ever open-source high-fidelity CFD dataset of a high-lift aircraft for the purpose of AI surrogate model development. The dataset is composed of 1800 samples, arising from 180 geometry variants and 10 angles of attack for the high-lift NASA Common Research Model (CRM) geometry, used within the AIAA High-Lift Prediction Workshop series. One of the novelties of this dataset is the use of a GPU-accelerated high-fidelity explicit, wall-modeled LES approach for each simulation, using solution-adapted grids between 300M and 500M cells. This ensures the greatest possible accuracy given known challenges in steady-state RANS approaches for these portions of the flight envelope. The entire dataset (geometries, time-averaged volume and surface variables and integral forces) are available, free of charge with a permissive open-source license (CC-BY-4.0). By making this data publicly available, we aim to accelerate the research and development of AI surrogate modeling within the aerospace industry.

Automotive crashworthiness optimization remains a safety-critical challenge, requiring the management of large-scale nonlinear structural deformations and energy dissipation through iterative, high-fidelity simulations. While traditional finite element solvers are computationally prohibitive, emerging operator learning frameworks provide rapid surrogate predictions; however, applying them to industrial-scale crash analysis, where complex geometry, contact nonlinearities, and rapidly evolving transient deformation coexist, remains an open challenge. In this paper, we demonstrate that the GeoTransolver framework provides a viable solution for accurate, high-fidelity crash dynamics prediction at industrial scale. Benchmarked on complex bumper beam and full-vehicle crash datasets, GeoTransolver captures multi-scale geometric context and accurately resolves plastic deformation patterns as well as acceleration profiles at critical occupant locations. Beyond the architecture itself, we propose and systematically evaluate a suite of temporal prediction recipes, including one-shot, time-conditional, and autoregressive rollout strategies, demonstrating that the one-shot approach achieves state-of-the-art accuracy with significantly reduced training overhead and inference latency. As a secondary contribution, we introduce a Fast Low-rank Attention Routing Engine (FLARE)-based modification to the GeoTransolver attention backbone that reduces memory overhead by approximately 2x while further improving predictive accuracy for O(N) long-range, high-frequency transients, preserving the geometry-aware cross-attention strengths of the base framework. Our results highlight the practical viability of geometry-aware operator learning for high-fidelity surrogate modeling of complex, safety-critical automotive dynamics.

Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) faces unique challenges for extreme-resolution data, with mitigations that often fail to scale or degrade the accuracy of trained models. While some specialized methods have achieved remarkable results in training models or performing inference on massive spatial datasets with bespoke techniques, there is no generalized framework for parallelization over input data below batch size one per device. In this work we introduce ShardTensor: a novel paradigm of domain parallelism that enables flexible scaling of input data to arbitrary sizes. By decoupling the spatial dimensionality of input data from hardware constraints, ShardTensor enables scientific machine learning workloads to reach new levels of high fidelity training and inference. We demonstrate both strong and weak scaling of workloads during training and inference, showing improved latency with strong scaling and demonstrating the capacity to process higher data sizes with weak scaling. Additionally, we demonstrate multiple dimensions of parallelization, removing barriers to SciML on extreme-scale inputs.

We present GeoTransolver, a Multiscale Geometry-Aware Physics Attention Transformer for CAE that replaces standard attention with GALE, coupling physics-aware self-attention on learned state slices with cross-attention to a shared geometry/global/boundary-condition context computed from multi-scale ball queries (inspired by DoMINO) and reused in every block. Implemented and released in NVIDIA PhysicsNeMo, GeoTransolver persistently projects geometry, global and boundary condition parameters into physical state spaces to anchor latent computations to domain structure and operating regimes. We benchmark GeoTransolver on DrivAerML, Luminary SHIFT-SUV, and Luminary SHIFT-Wing, comparing against Domino, Transolver (as released in PhysicsNeMo), and literature-reported AB-UPT, and evaluate drag/lift R2 and Relative L1 errors for field variables. GeoTransolver delivers better accuracy, improved robustness to geometry/regime shifts, and favorable data efficiency; we include ablations on DrivAerML and qualitative results such as contour plots and design trends for the best GeoTransolver models. By unifying multiscale geometry-aware context with physics-based attention in a scalable transformer, GeoTransolver advances operator learning for high-fidelity surrogate modeling across complex, irregular domains and non-linear physical regimes.
