DrivAerStar: An Industrial-Grade CFD Dataset for Vehicle Aerodynamic Optimization

Vehicle aerodynamics optimization has become critical for automotive electrification, where drag reduction directly determines electric vehicle range and energy efficiency. Traditional approaches face an intractable trade-off: computationally expensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations requiring weeks per design iteration, or simplified models that sacrifice production-grade accuracy. While machine learning offers transformative potential, existing datasets exhibit fundamental limitations -- inadequate mesh resolution, missing vehicle components, and validation errors exceeding 5% -- preventing deployment in industrial workflows. We present DrivAerStar, comprising 12,000 industrial-grade automotive CFD simulations generated using STAR-CCM+${}^\unicode{xAE}$ software. The dataset systematically explores three vehicle configurations through 20 Computer Aided Design (CAD) parameters via Free Form Deformation (FFD) algorithms, including complete engine compartments and cooling systems with realistic internal airflow. DrivAerStar achieves wind tunnel validation accuracy below 1.04% -- a five-fold improvement over existing datasets -- through refined mesh strategies with strict wall $y^+$ control. Benchmarks demonstrate that models trained on this data achieve production-ready accuracy while reducing computational costs from weeks to minutes. This represents the first dataset bridging academic machine learning research and industrial CFD practice, establishing a new standard for data-driven aerodynamic optimization in automotive development. Beyond automotive applications, DrivAerStar demonstrates a paradigm for integrating high-fidelity physics simulations with Artificial Intelligence (AI) across engineering disciplines where computational constraints currently limit innovation.

Unveiling Environmental Sensitivity of Individual Gains in Influence Maximization

Influence Maximization (IM) is to identify the seed set to maximize information dissemination in a network. Elegant IM algorithms could naturally extend to cases where each node is equipped with a specific weight, reflecting individual gains to measure the node's importance. Prevailing literature typically assumes such individual gains remain constant throughout the cascade process and are solvable through explicit formulas based on the node's characteristics and network topology. However, this assumption is not always feasible for two reasons: 1)Unobservability: The individual gains of each node are primarily evaluated by the difference between the outputs in the activated and non-activated states. In practice, we can only observe one of these states, with the other remaining unobservable post-propagation. 2)Environmental sensitivity: In addition to the node's inherent properties, individual gains are also sensitive to the activation status of surrounding nodes, which is dynamic during iteration even when the network topology remains static. To address these challenges, we extend the consideration of IM to a broader scenario with dynamic node individual gains, leveraging causality techniques. In our paper, we introduce a Causal Influence Maximization (CauIM) framework and develop two algorithms, G-CauIM and A-CauIM, where the latter incorporates a novel acceleration technique. Theoretically, we establish the generalized lower bound of influence spread and provide robustness analysis. Empirically, in synthetic and real-world experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our algorithms.

LGRASS: Linear Graph Spectral Sparsification for Final Task of the 3rd ACM-China International Parallel Computing Challenge

This paper presents our solution for optimization task of the 3rd ACM-China IPCC. By the complexity analysis, we identified three time-consuming subroutines of original algorithm: marking edges, computing pseudo inverse and sorting edges. These subroutines becomes the main performance bottleneck owing to their super-linear time complexity. To address this, we proposed LGRASS, a linear graph spectral sparsification algorithm to run in strictly linear time. LGRASS takes advantage of spanning tree properties and efficient algorithms to optimize bottleneck subroutines. Furthermore, we crafted a parallel processing scheme for LGRASS to make full use of multi-processor hardware. Experiment shows that our proposed method fulfils the task in dozens of milliseconds on official test cases and keep its linearity as graph size scales up on random test cases.
