Integration of deep learning and computational fluid dynamics for rapid aerodynamic force prediction of compressor blades

The distribution of flow fields around compressor blades is crucial for the performance and reliability of aircraft engines. To effectively obtain aerodynamic loads, this study combines deep learning with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to develop an efficient aerodynamic prediction model. Initially, CFD is used to acquire detailed flow field data for the blade surface and its surrounding environment. Subsequently, a distance field parameterization method is applied to process the blade geometry, and deep learning models are used to capture the complex relationship between blade geometry and aerodynamic parameters with high precision. The results indicate that the proposed model can predict aerodynamic loads within seconds with a mean squared error of less than 2%. Compared to traditional parameterization methods and other deep learning approaches, this model exhibits higher accuracy. The findings highlight the effectiveness of integrating deep learning with CFD to enhance aerodynamic predictions and provide a promising approach for future aerodynamic modeling research.
