基于柔性智能蒙皮的翼型流场预测和重建方法

Flow field prediction and reconstruction of aircraft based on flexible smart skin

  • 摘要: 飞行器的气动问题会引发机翼结冰、飞行失速等安全隐患,通过监测气动载荷数据、研究其流场特性有助于解决上述问题。在飞行过程中,柔性智能蒙皮提供了TSP(temperature-sensitive paint)、PSP(pressure-sensitive paint)等风洞试验手段不具备的飞行过程中数据采集功能,但感知的多物理场数据分布稀疏、数据有限,难以实现转捩、失速位置的精确识别。针对翼型全流场重构获取空间密度更大的气动载荷数据,提出了一种基于柔性智能蒙皮的流场高分辨率快速重建方法,并开发了基于编码器-解码器网络架构的双分支通道注意力融合模型,实现了相对误差为3.68%的二维翼型流场快速预测;实现了空间分辨率更高的全域流场分布的快速重构,相对误差仅为5%,为智能蒙皮在飞行中的进一步应用提供了数据支撑。

     

    Abstract: Real-time analysis and prediction of flow field characteristics are essential for flight safety and necessitate in-flight data acquisition, an almost impossible task for traditional techniques such as temperature/pressure-sensitive paint. Flexible smart skins demonstrate great promise in acquiring in-flight data. Nevertheless, the multi-physical data they collected are usually sparsely distributed and limited in quantity, making it difficult to accurately identify transition and stall locations. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a novel method for rapidly reconstructing high-resolution flow fields around aircraft wings from sparse data. Leveraging the flow fields computed by CFL3D, a dual-branch attention fusion model is developed based on an encoder-decoder network. This model facilitates rapid prediction of 2D flow fields for 52 types of NACA airfoils at 156 different freestream conditions with an average relative error of 3.68%, providing a substantial amount of high-fidelity training data for the reconstruction process. Furthermore, using flow fields around the M6 airfoil generated by the rapid prediction model, a flow field reconstruction model was developed based on a Shallow Neural Network, which fulfills rapid reconstruction of high-resolution flow fields with a relative error of less than 5%. This work establishes a valuable data foundation for the in-flight application of smart skins, enhancing real-time monitoring capabilities and improving flight safety by enabling accurate flow field reconstructions and insights.
