TAIYUAN, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- The 2nd China Space Science Assembly in Taiyuan City, north China's Shanxi Province, has attracted nearly 500 academicians and experts from over 220 research institutions, universities and enterprises.

During the four-day event, which ended on Sunday, scholars in fields such as spacecraft design and earth science delivered speeches encouraging young people to contribute to the country's space exploration endeavors.

"Young people are energetic and possess the ability and willingness to innovate," Sun Zezhou, a scholar on spacecraft design said in his speech.

In the realm of space science in China, an increasing number of young talents are taking the center stage.

The China National Space Administration revealed at a press conference in January that the average age of research team members of China's cutting-edge space science projects such as China's lunar exploration program and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System is between 30 and 40 years old.

Zhang Aibing, 45, was awarded for his contributions to China's space science at the opening ceremony of the event. Zhang has been working at the National Space Science Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences since 2003.

During the past nearly two decades, he has taken part in multiple space exploration projects. Over 60 percent of the members in the research team led by Zhang are aged below 40.

He said he believes that young researchers are inquisitive and energetic, and are better at thinking outside the box, which sometimes plays an extraordinary role in promoting scientific research.

Furthermore, young people are becoming the "trendsetters" of various cutting-edge technologies in China.

According to a report released by the National Academy of Innovation Strategy in June, the majority of China's scientific and technological human resources are young and middle-aged, and about three-quarters of them are aged 39 and below.

Li Qinghui is pursuing a doctorate degree at Shanxi University and did not go back home to spend summer vacation this year due to her tight schedule.

The 25-year-old is a member of a research team that is focusing on the design of an optical system to provide technical support for a ground-based gravitational wave observatory.

The system is expected to help better study the evolution of the universe and understand its movement.

"I spend six days in the lab from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. a week," said Li, adding that she is honored to be part of this cutting-edge scientific project.

China has always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents. A meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee reviewed a plan for talent development during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025) in April this year.

The meeting called for accelerating the building of world-class hubs for talent and innovation, with Beijing, Shanghai and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area serving as demonstration areas.

Calling for more efforts to foster scientists with strategic value and give full play to their roles, the meeting stressed nurturing leading talent and innovation teams in science and technology, as well as a large number of outstanding engineers.

"I hope young talents can maintain their curiosity and creativity, and expand their horizons while doing down-to-earth scientific research to contribute to the development of space science in China and for humankind," Sun said.

During WAIC 2022, Huawei and COMAC together released an "industrial scale fluid simulation giant model (工业级流体仿真大模型)", named as "东方.御风" (East-Windrider?)

According to COMAC, this AI-powered simulator can reduce the time taken for certain tasks from 10 minutes to just 25 seconds.

WAIC 2022:人工智能如何赋能国产大飞机设计​

在数据、算法和算力“三驾马车”驱动下,人工智能的价值正逐步在行业中体现出来。通过近距离观察近几年的世界人工智能大会,“AI很火,落地却很难”的窘境已日渐成为历史。

“过去仿真一次要10分钟,现在25秒就可以了。而在一个大飞机的整个设计过程中,大概需要千万次仿真。这千万次,从每次10分钟到25秒,大家可以想象这是多么大的效率提升。”

9月2日,在2022世界人工智能大会(WAIC 2022)上,华为昇腾计算业务总裁张迪煊在接受观察者网等媒体采访时说道。

在当天举办的昇腾人工智能生态大会上,中国商飞上海飞机设计研究院联合华为发布了业界首个工业级流体仿真大模型“东方.御风”。
据介绍,“东方·御风”是基于昇腾AI打造的面向大型客机翼型流场高效高精度AI仿真预测模型。在昇思MindSpore流体仿真套件支持下,可有效提高对复杂流动的仿真能力,减少风洞试验的次数。同时,该模型对流场中变化剧烈的区域可进行精准预测,流场平均误差降低到万分之一量级,达到工业级标准。

在本次大会上,华为轮值董事长胡厚崑透露,华为已推出系列科学智能套件,把AI引入生物、物理、气象等科学领域,帮助科学家们用人工智能技术来解决传统和前沿的科学问题。目前已经推出了电磁仿真、分子动力学等科学智能套件,正在加速科研成果产业化。

为了让AI与流体力学领域深度融合,使能科研创新,智能流体力学产业联合体也在本次大会上成立。该联合体是在中国空气动力学会指导下,由唐志共、吴光辉、鄂维南等院士为代表的产业界领军人物和30多家全球头部流体力学高校、科研院所与龙头企业共同组建。
