In recent years, the concept of introducing physics to machine learning has become widely popular. Most physics-inclusive ML-techniques however are still limited to a single geometry or a set of parametrizable geometries. Thus, there remains the need to train a new model for a new geometry, even if it is only slightly modified. With this work we introduce a technique with which it is possible to learn approximate solutions to the steady-state Navier--Stokes equations in varying geometries without the need of parametrization. This technique is based on a combination of a U-Net-like CNN and well established discretization methods from the field of the finite difference method.The results of our physics-aware CNN are compared to a state-of-the-art data-based approach. Additionally, it is also shown how our approach performs when combined with the data-based approach.
