Abstract:Data-driven modeling methods have become one of the main techniques for predicting aerodynamic thermal behavior in hypersonic applications. However, due to the limitations of wind tunnel experimental conditions, the spatial distribution of aerodynamic thermal wind tunnel experiment data is often sparse, and the sample size is relatively small. This poses challenges in constructing high-performance data-driven aerodynamic thermal prediction models. To address these issues, this paper proposes a reconstruction method for sparse aerodynamic thermal wind tunnel experiment data, integrating a multi-fidelity data fusion modeling approach. First, low-fidelity simulation data for aerodynamic thermal calculations are introduced based on the sparse aerodynamic thermal wind tunnel experiment data to construct a training set for the deep neural network (DNN). Then, a weighted loss function for the DNN is designed. The weighted loss function consists of two components: the loss from the wind tunnel experimental data and the loss from the low-fidelity simulation data. Finally, the DNN is trained to obtain the reconstruction results of the sparse aerodynamic thermal wind tunnel experiment data. Aerodynamic thermal reconstruction is conducted using aerodynamic thermal sparse wind tunnel experiment data from hypersonic wind tunnels for different geometries, including double-ellipsoid, blunt-cone, bicone, and 25°/55° bicone. The results indicate that not only is the normalized root mean square error of the aerodynamic thermal reconstruction results within 9% of the wind tunnel experimental data, but the volume of the reconstructed aerodynamic thermal data is also comparable to that of the low-fidelity numerical simulation results, allowing for a detailed visualization of the aerodynamic thermal distribution in cloud plot form.
