Abstract

This invention discloses a method for predicting engine exhaust nozzle wall pressure by fusing experimental data. First, high-fidelity data of nozzle wall pressure measured experimentally under different operating conditions are discretized. A model is constructed using a combined neural network. For different operating conditions of the nozzle, aerodynamic / geometric feature data of the nozzle is input. First, a fully connected layer is used to establish a mapping relationship between aerodynamic / geometric parameters and a small amount of experimental pressure data. Then, the experimental data is fused with CFD low-fidelity data. A convolutional neural network is used to perform convolution operations on the data to extract feature data and output the nozzle wall pressure. The method is iteratively optimized until the loss requirement is met. The model training optimization objective is set to the experimental high-fidelity data of the nozzle under different operating conditions. The engine exhaust nozzle wall pressure prediction method using this invention can quickly predict nozzle wall pressure while ensuring a certain level of prediction accuracy and generalization.
