Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of turbine aerodynamic performance analysis technology, specifically to an uncertainty analysis method for the thermal performance of turbine blade tip gas under high load. Background Technology
[0002] Gas turbines and other power plants such as aero engines have compact overall structures, with the turbine tip, a core component, having particularly small geometric dimensions. These dimensions present significant manufacturing challenges, as even minute deviations can lead to substantial changes in the turbine tip's shape. Furthermore, transonic turbine tip blades directly withstand the impact of high-temperature, high-pressure combustion gases during high-speed rotation. Combined with the rapid changes in operating parameters during start-up and shutdown, these factors cause fluctuations in the turbine tip's operating state, deviating it from ideal design conditions. These uncertainties significantly affect the aerothermal performance of the turbine tip. Therefore, during turbine tip design, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the uncertainties in geometry and operating conditions, accurately predicting their impact on the turbine tip's aerothermal performance, thereby providing a reliable guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the gas turbine.
[0003] With the continuous development of uncertainty quantification methods, existing multi-fidelity methods (such as polynomial chaotic expansion methods) realize the mapping relationship between uncertain inputs and statistical characteristics by constructing orthogonal polynomial bases. However, their core limitation lies in their strong dependence on the input distribution and their susceptibility to the curse of dimensionality when facing high-dimensional uncertainty analysis. The curse of dimensionality has become a key bottleneck restricting the widespread application of traditional methods in engineering practice. Taking the analysis of turbine blade tip gas thermal performance as an example, when the dimension of uncertain variables increases significantly, the number of high-precision samples required by the polynomial chaotic expansion method increases exponentially, leading to a sharp increase in computational resource demands. Especially in analyses involving high-dimensional parameter spaces (such as 15 dimensions or more), maintaining prediction accuracy requires simulation resources far exceeding the actual engineering capacity, thus creating an irreconcilable contradiction between computational efficiency and model accuracy. Therefore, how to overcome resource constraints in high-dimensional uncertainty quantification and construct analysis methods that balance efficiency and reliability has become a key problem that urgently needs to be solved in the field of engineering optimization. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a method and system for uncertainty analysis of turbine blade tip aero-thermal performance.

Using the air-thermal performance as the objective function, a single relationship model between a single design parameter and air-thermal performance is constructed.
[0025] The ratio of the variance corresponding to a single design parameter to the total variance is calculated based on the single-relationship model to obtain the degree of influence of the single design parameter on the gas-thermal performance.
[0026] Preferably, it also includes an analysis of the interactive effects of multiple design parameters on gas-thermal performance:
[0027] Multiple key structural parameters among the uncertain variables are treated as multiple design parameters, and other key structural parameters are integrated into constants within their parameter ranges.

This collaborative mechanism significantly reduces reliance on simulation data while maintaining prediction accuracy. Based on the trained blade tip aero-thermal performance prediction network model, Monte Carlo sampling and Sobol global sensitivity analysis methods are further combined. This not only achieves efficient acquisition of the probability distribution of aero-thermal performance but also quantitatively analyzes the independent influence and interaction effects of various uncertainty parameters, thereby accurately identifying the significant parameters contributing most to performance fluctuations. Finally, the sensitivity analysis results guide parameter optimization design, forming a parameter combination that brings the turbine blade tip aero-thermal performance close to the global optimum.

[0073]
[0074] Step 2: Based on the five uncertain variables defined in Step 1, construct a five-dimensional parameter space. Using the Latin hypercube sampling method, generate sample sets of different precision in the five-dimensional parameter space and determine the aerothermal performance of the turbine blade tip corresponding to each sample point in the sample set.
[0075] S2.1. Each key structural parameter is treated as a dimension. The five key structural parameters in the uncertainty variables and their corresponding value spaces form a five-dimensional parameter space. The Latin hypercube sampling method is used to generate high-precision and low-precision sample sets in the five-dimensional parameter space.
[0076] In this embodiment, the high-precision sample set includes 17 high-precision sample points, and the low-precision sample set includes 1000 low-precision sample points. The sample points are evenly distributed in adjacent dimensions to cover the parameter fluctuation range.

That is, a second training dataset is constructed based on the high-precision sample set and the corresponding aero-thermal performance of the turbine blade tip. Similarly, a first training dataset is constructed based on the low-precision sample set and the corresponding aero-thermal performance of the turbine blade tip.
[0092] Step 3: Construct a Gaussian process surrogate model based on the sample points generated in Step 2. The Gaussian process surrogate model establishes a stochastic process mapping relationship between the sample points and the gas-thermal performance based on the kernel function. The expected improvement function is used as the acquisition function. New high-precision sample points are generated iteratively through a Bayesian optimization strategy. In each iteration, the gas-thermal performance of the new high-precision sample points is calculated through fluid dynamics simulation and the Gaussian process surrogate model is updated until the Gaussian process surrogate model converges. The newly generated high-precision sample points are then merged into the second training dataset.
[0093] In this embodiment, the kernel function is a radial basis function. Based on the radial basis function, a stochastic process mapping relationship between the input sample points and the gas-thermal performance is established. Then, an expected improvement function is used. The new sample points are determined by the acquisition function. In each iteration, the gas-thermal performance of the new sample points is calculated by fluid dynamics simulation and the Gaussian process surrogate model is updated until the convergence condition of maximum prediction error ≤ 5% is met.
[0094] Expected Improvement Function The expression is as follows:

[0098] Step 4: Construct a blade tip gas thermal performance prediction network model using a multi-fidelity deep neural network method, which includes cascaded prediction subnetworks and correction subnetworks.
[0099] The training method for the blade tip gas thermal performance prediction network model is as follows:
[0100] The prediction sub-network is trained based on the first training dataset, and the prediction sub-network outputs the turbine blade tip thermal performance.
[0101] Using the second training dataset and the turbine tip thermal performance output by the prediction sub-network as input, the calibration sub-network is trained. Based on the nonlinear expressive power of the activation function, the mapping and calibration relationship between the turbine tip thermal performance output by the prediction sub-network and the calibration sub-network is determined. The prediction results of the calibration sub-network are iteratively corrected according to the mapping and calibration relationship until the loss function is minimized, and the trained turbine tip thermal performance prediction network model is obtained, and the final prediction result is output.
[0102] The training method for the blade tip gas thermal performance prediction network model specifically includes the following steps:
[0103] S4.1. LF-DNN (Late Fusion Deep Neural Network) is used as the prediction sub-network to learn the global trend of turbine blade tip thermal performance. The prediction sub-network includes an input layer, three hidden layers and an output layer. The number of neurons in the three hidden layers are 64, 64 and 40, respectively.

[0106] During training, the turbine blade tip thermal performance output from the second training dataset and the prediction sub-network is input into the DNN model for joint training. The nonlinear expressive power of the ReLU (Rectified Linear Unit) activation function is used to accurately learn the mapping and correction relationship between the prediction results of the first and second training datasets. The results of the DNN model are iteratively corrected according to the mapping and correction relationship until the loss function of the correction sub-network is minimized, thereby achieving end-to-end adaptive transfer learning from low precision to high precision. After training, the blade tip thermal performance prediction network model is obtained.

[0110] The blade tip gas thermal performance prediction network model adopts a two-stage optimization strategy during training. In the first stage, the ADAM (Adaptive Moment Estimation) optimizer is used to achieve fast convergence with a learning rate of 0.001. In the second stage, the L-BFGS (Limited-memory Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno) optimizer is called to perform high-precision weight fine-tuning.
[0111] Step 5: Sample points are generated by sampling in the multidimensional parameter space of uncertain variables. The air-thermal performance of the sample points is predicted by the blade tip air-thermal performance prediction network model. Then, the probability distribution of air-thermal performance of all sample points is obtained. For air-thermal performance with a probability greater than the set probability, the influence of the corresponding sample points on the air-thermal performance is analyzed.
[0112] S5.1 Perform Monte Carlo sampling in five-dimensional space according to the probability distribution of each parameter;
[0113] For key structural parameters that follow a Gaussian distribution, Box-Muller transformation is used to generate normal random numbers, and for key structural parameters that follow a uniform distribution, inverse transformation is used for sampling. In this embodiment, 100,000 sample points are generated.
[0114] The Box-Muller transform is a mathematical transformation method that converts a uniform distribution into a normal distribution. Box-Muller refers to the surnames of the statisticians George E. Box and Mervin E. Muller, who designed this transformation method.
[0115] S5.2 Input the sample points into the trained blade tip aero-thermal performance prediction network model to obtain the aero-thermal performance of the turbine blade tip. Perform statistical analysis on all aero-thermal performances to determine the distribution of aero-thermal performance.

[0117] S5.3. Select sample points whose total pressure loss coefficient and area-average heat transfer coefficient change by more than ±3%, and analyze the degree of influence of the sample points on the gas-thermal performance.
[0118] Step 6: Based on the Sobol global sensitivity analysis method, determine the degree of influence of each uncertainty variable on the gas-thermal performance fluctuation in the analysis sample points, where Sobol is a person's name.
[0119] I. The influence of single-source uncertainties on gas-thermal performance is analyzed using the following method:
[0120] 1) Treat one of the key structural parameters in the uncertainty variables as a single design parameter. Other key structural parameters are integrated as constants within the parameter range, thereby eliminating the coupling effects of other key structural parameters;
[0121] 2) Based on the trained blade tip air-thermal performance prediction network model, calculate the weighted average of the air-thermal performance corresponding to each value of a single design parameter, and use the air-thermal performance as the objective function to construct a single design parameter...

[0128] 4) Repeat the above process to determine the degree of influence of each key structural parameter on the gas-thermal performance, and rank the degree of influence according to the ratio of variance to total variance.
[0129] II. The influence of two sources of uncertainty on gas-thermal performance is analyzed using the following method:
[0130] 10) Two key structural parameters in the uncertainty variables ( As a dual design parameter, other key structural parameters are integrated as constants within the parameter range, thereby eliminating the coupling effects of other key structural parameters;
[0131] 20) Based on the trained blade tip air-thermal performance prediction network model, calculate the weighted average of the air-thermal performance corresponding to each value of the dual design parameters. Using the air-thermal performance as the objective function, construct an interaction model of the dual design parameters on the air-thermal performance. This interaction model is a binary function. .
[0132] The expression for this interaction relationship model is as follows:
[0133]
[0134] in, Key structural parameters Independent contributions to gas-thermal performance Key structural parameters Independent contribution to gas thermal performance.
[0135] 30) Calculate the ratio of the coupling variance of the two design parameters to the total variance based on the interaction model, and then obtain the degree of influence of the interaction of the two design parameters on the gas-thermal performance.
[0136] The expression for the coupling variance is as follows:
[0137]
[0138] in, This is the coupling contribution term of the two parameters to the gas-thermal performance;
[0139] The expression for the total variance is as follows:
[0140]
[0141] Step 7: Repeat step 6 to obtain the ratio of the variance of each design parameter to the total variance. Sort the degree of influence according to the ratio, filter significant parameters according to the ratio threshold, determine the optimal value of significant parameters according to the single relation model, and construct the parameter combination that optimizes the gas-thermal performance based on the optimal value.
[0142] The degree of influence was ranked according to proportion, that is, the effects of tip clearance height H, groove depth D, tip shoulder width B, film cooling hole diameter d, and turbine blade rotational speed n on aerothermal performance were identified and screened. The parameters are significant parameters. The optimal values of the significant parameters are determined based on the single relation model, and finally the parameter combination that optimizes the gas-thermal performance can be obtained.
[0143] This uncertainty analysis method for turbine tip aero-thermal performance overcomes the dimensionality limitations of traditional high-dimensional uncertainty analysis methods by constructing a cascaded architecture of multi-fidelity deep neural networks and combining ReLU activation function with Bayesian optimization strategy. It significantly improves computational efficiency by 94.5% while raising prediction accuracy to 98.2% (error ≤ 3.8%), achieving adaptive modeling of aero-thermal performance for input variables with arbitrary probability distributions. This method provides a high-precision, low-cost, robust optimization decision-making basis for aero-engine turbine tip design, effectively supporting the efficient and stable design of high-load turbine tips.
