Beyond Faster Simulation: Hitting NASA's 2030 CFD Benchmark and the Infrastructure for Physics AI

nTop and CoreWeave completed 10,000 LES CFD simulations in about 32 hours, meeting NASA's 2030 CFD Vision goal four years early. The approach combines signed distance field geometry, which cannot break under parametric variation, with a GPU-native Lattice Boltzmann solver that removes the meshing step entirely. The talk also covers the 14 TB dataset generated and the path toward physics AI surrogates trained in implicit latent space.
