1000x more efficient fluid simulations for engineers


Fluid simulations are an essential tool in a wide range of industries when designing planes, cars and wind turbines. However, these simulations are extremely computationally expensive, often taking days to weeks to run, critically slowing down design iteration workflows.

Fortunately, recent advances in machine learning research have shown these simulations can be accelerated by up to 1000x, and Vanellus is building these breakthroughs into a commercial fluid solver product.
