[0002] Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is playing an increasingly important role in aircraft design, becoming the third most important design tool after wind tunnel experiments and theoretical analysis. It plays a crucial role in all stages of aircraft design. Consequently, the credibility of CFD software simulation results is attracting increasing attention. However, for any advanced numerical simulation technology to truly be effective in practical engineering, its accuracy, precision, and applicability must be evaluated to ensure the reliability and usability of the simulation results. This means evaluating the credibility of the calculation results.

[0003] Existing research on CFD software credibility indicates that the primary focus is on evaluating a specific capability of the software using a number of relevant case studies. For example, AIAA drag prediction utilizes three transport configurations: DLR-F4, DLR-F6, and CRM; and AIAA high-lift prediction utilizes Traping-Wing semi-extended / fully extended configurations. These case-based evaluation methods, such as grayscale comprehensive evaluation, realism-based assessment, and gray comprehensive evaluation, generally rely on expert experience to assign weighted scores. This incorporation of experts into the evaluation process is often influenced by human factors, such as their expertise, experience, and even emotions, leading to uncertainty in the evaluation results, which in turn impacts aircraft designers' decisions regarding simulation software. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Step 6: Calculate the credibility quantification score through the correlation weight and score of each type of data sequence to obtain the credibility quantification result of the numerical simulation software.

[0012] According to one embodiment, the calculation formula of the correlation coefficient is:

[0013]

[0014] Where γ is the correlation coefficient, (i = 1, 2, ... n; j = 1, 2, ... m), i represents the number of subjects of numerical simulation / experiment used for the evaluation item, j represents the data sequence of the i-th group of numerical simulation / experiment sequence, ξ is the resolution coefficient, Δ max is the maximum value in the absolute error data set, Δ min is the minimum value in the absolute error data set.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the CFD software credibility quantitative evaluation method based on data mining provided by the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: Create a dataset to associate simulation data with test data

[0040] The numerical simulation results and experimental data of several evaluation cases used to evaluate the credibility of CFD software were collected, and a correlation data set between the two types of data was established, as shown in Table 1.

[0041] Table 1 List of associated datasets of simulation data and experimental data

[0042]

[0043] Step 2: Calculate the absolute error between the comparison data series

[0044] Calculate the absolute error between the CFD numerical simulation results and the corresponding experimental data.

[0045] The absolute error calculation formula is: Δ ij =|T ij -X ij|, (i = 1, 2, ... n; j = 1, 2, ... m), where i represents the case / test sequence, j represents the data sequence of the i-th case / test sequence, T represents the test data, and X represents the numerical simulation results. The comparison sequences must correspond one to one. A list of absolute error sets between the data sets is established, as shown in Table 2.

[0046] Table 2 List of absolute error sets between simulation data and test data

[0047]

[0048] Step 3: Calculate the maximum and minimum values ​​in the absolute error data set;

[0049] According to the maximum value calculation formula and the minimum value calculation formula, find the maximum error value and the minimum error value from the absolute error data set.

[0050] Maximum value calculation formula:

[0051] Minimum value calculation formula:

[0052] Step 4: Calculate the correlation coefficient between the simulation data sequence and the test data sequence through the maximum value and the minimum value, then calculate the correlation degree through the correlation coefficient, and finally calculate the correlation degree weight through the correlation degree.

[0053] (1) Calculate the correlation coefficient γ of each evaluation data sequence.

[0054] The calculation formula is: Wherein, (i=1, 2, ... n; j=1, 2, ... m), ξ is the resolution coefficient, preferably 0.5, to reduce the influence of the maximum absolute error being too large and causing distortion of the result.

[0055] (2) Calculate the correlation

[0056] Calculate the correlation degree κ of each type of evaluation data sequence.

[0057] The calculation formula is: (i=1,2,…n;j=1,2,…m) to obtain the correlation between various evaluation data.

[0058] (3) Calculate the association weight

[0059] Calculate the weight ν of each type of evaluation data sequence.

[0060] According to the formula: i=1,2,...,n calculate the weight ν of the correlation degree of the data sequence i .

[0061] Step 5: Calculate the average of the proportions of absolute errors between the simulation data sequence and the test data sequence, and calculate the score of each type of data sequence based on the average of the proportions;

[0062] (1) Calculate the average value of the absolute error proportion of each type of evaluation data series

[0063] According to the formula: (i=1,2,…n;j=1,2,…m) calculate the average value of the absolute deviation of each evaluation data, where ω i It represents the average error proportion of each type of evaluation data series.

[0064] (2) Calculate the scores of various evaluation data sequences

[0065] According to the formula: S i =1-ω i , the score of each type of data sequence is calculated according to the error deviation method, and the score is between [0, 1], where S i Indicates the score of each type of data sequence.

[0066] Step 6: Calculate the credibility quantification score through the correlation weight and score of each type of evaluation data sequence, and obtain the credibility quantification result of the numerical simulation software.

[0067] According to the formula: The credibility quantification score is calculated to obtain the final credibility quantification result of the numerical simulation software.

[0068] The method of this embodiment quantitatively evaluates the credibility of CFD software by mining potential correlation information within the data. The degree of correlation between the numerical simulation and experimental data sequences is determined based on the magnitude of the error between the two. The smaller the error, the closer the comparison data sequences are and the greater the correlation, while the smaller the error, the closer the correlation is. By analyzing the correlation data, a set of weights for software evaluation items (or evaluation indicators) is determined, thereby achieving a quantitative evaluation of the software's credibility.

[0069] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
