[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for recommending turbine blade cooling structure parameters based on a generative model, including:

[0035] Construct a training data set of turbine blade cooling design indicators corresponding to different operating conditions and structural parameters based on numerical simulation methods;

[0036] Building a plurality of decoder models based on a neural network architecture, training the plurality of decoder models using the training data set, and generating a plurality of trained decoder models;

[0037] Building an encoder model based on a neural network architecture, training the encoder model using the training data set, and generating a trained encoder model;

[0038] Connecting the output of the trained encoder model with the input of the trained multiple decoder models to generate a turbine blade cooling structure parameter recommendation model;

[0039] Based on the turbine blade cooling structure parameter recommendation model, the cooling structure parameters of the design target under the current working conditions are generated, specifically:

[0040] Step 1: Construction of training dataset

[0041] Based on the existing numerical simulation methods, a training data set of turbine blade cooling design indicators such as cooling air flow and blade comprehensive cooling efficiency corresponding to different operating conditions and structural parameters is constructed;

[0042] Step 2: Decoder model construction and training

[0043] Based on the neural network architecture, a decoder model is constructed from operating conditions and structural parameters to design indicators such as cooling air flow and blade comprehensive cooling effect, and the decoder model is trained based on the data set constructed in step ①. The operating parameters include parameters commonly used in engineering practice, such as mainstream Reynolds number (Re), turbulence (Tu), density ratio (DR), blowing ratio (M), blade internal and external pressure difference (ΔP), etc.; geometric parameters include impact hole diameter (d i ), air film hole diameter (d f ), film hole incident angle (α), aspect ratio (l / d f ), hole spacing (P / d f ), row spacing (S / d f ) etc. The expansion of the data set can add more parameters, and this application does not limit the type and number of parameters. The constructed decoder model G(X) is shown in formula (1).

[0044] Y=G(X)=G(Re,Tu,DR,M,ΔP,d i ,d f ,α,l / df,P / df,S / df,...)(1)

[0045] Step 3: Encoder model construction and training

[0046] Based on the neural network architecture, an encoder model is constructed from operating conditions and design indicators such as cold air flow, comprehensive cooling efficiency of blades to structural parameters, and the output of the encoder model is linked to the input of the decoder model trained in step ②, and the dataset constructed in step ① is called to train the encoder model. The operating parameters, structural parameters, design indicators and other parameters of the encoder model are completely consistent with the decoder model trained in step 2. The constructed encoder model F(Y) is shown in formula (2), and its function is to compress the high-dimensional parameter space where the design indicators Y such as cold air flow and comprehensive cooling efficiency of blades are located into the low-dimensional structural parameter space X;

[0047] X=F(Y)(2)

[0048] In order to achieve the design goal as much as possible, the training goal of the encoder is to minimize the cooling air flow output by the decoder, the comprehensive cooling effect of the blade, and other performance Y R The difference between the target performance Y of the encoder input is generally calculated by the mean square error between the two, as shown in formula (3).

[0049]

[0050] Where K represents the dimension of the input data. After the training is completed, the output of the encoder is the cooling structure parameters of the design target under the current working conditions.

[0051] For the design of turbine blade cooling structure, it is generally required to meet the design indicators of multiple disciplines such as cooling air flow, wall temperature, strength and life at the same time. However, traditional autoencoders usually have one encoder corresponding to one decoder, lacking a model architecture and training method for multiple decoders at the same time. In response to this, this application proposes a model architecture that uses the encoder output as a hub to connect multiple decoders in parallel and a training method that associates multiple design goals through a loss function, forming a unified paradigm for collaborative recommendation of multiple design goals, as shown in formula (4).

[0052]

[0053] Where k is the total number of decoders, ni is the dimension of the design indicator in the i-th decoder, is the tensor format of the predicted values ​​of the design indicators for all dimensions in the i-th decoder, Y i The tensor format of the design indicator target values ​​for all dimensions in the i-th decoder. is the predicted value of the design indicator of the jth dimension in the i-th decoder, y ij is the target value of the design indicator for the jth dimension in the i-th decoder. The values ​​of each item in the loss function are reduced during the training process of the entire autoencoder model, thereby achieving the association and satisfaction of multiple design goals.

[0054] Step 4: Cooling structure parameter recommendation

[0055] During the application phase, based on the input operating conditions and design indicators such as target cooling air flow rate and blade comprehensive cooling efficiency, the encoder model trained in step ③ is called to directly output the corresponding cooling structure parameters to complete the recommendation.

[0056] Step 5: Collection and reuse of historical design activity data

[0057] Incorporate the data from each design activity into the training dataset built in step one, thereby continuously improving the capabilities of the decoder model and encoder model built in steps two and three.

[0058] The above are only preferred specific implementations of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
