TensorFlow is for machine learning, not general purpose computations. And no, you will not get better results from a neural network than state of the art computational fluid dynamics.
As for general purpose GPU programming, some parts physics are GPU friendly put not all of them.
- jabl 9y agoIIRC there was some project doing more or less real-time weather forecasts for small areas (think airports and such) that used deep learning instead of traditional CFD style simulations. They were able to do it with several orders of magnitude less CPU usage than the CFD calculations.

- noobermin 9y agoOf course it isn't which is why ML isn't used by us in the computational community...yet.
