Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial equipment design and optimization, and more specifically, to a valve performance simulation and optimization method and system based on hybrid deep learning. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the existing valve performance estimation mainly includes the following technologies:

[0003] Physical experiments and empirical formulas: Data is obtained through laboratory tests such as pressure tests and flow tests, and the performance is estimated by combining relevant empirical formulas such as the Darcy-Weisbach formula. However, the experimental cost is high, the cycle is long, and the generalization ability of the empirical formula for complex working conditions is insufficient;

[0004] Finite element simulation technology (FEA): Tools such as ANSYS and COMSOL are used to perform stress analysis on the valve structure, simulate material deformation, fatigue life, etc.; the internal flow field distribution of the valve (such as flow velocity, pressure gradient) is simulated through computational fluid dynamics (CFD). However, high-precision simulation requires dense mesh division, and the calculation is time-consuming. A single simulation may take several hours to several days;

[0005] Traditional optimization methods: Valve parameters are adjusted based on the trial-and-error method or the response surface method, lacking the effective processing ability for multi-objective and non-linear problems, relying on manual experience to adjust parameters, and it is difficult to achieve automated optimization.

[0006] In summary, traditional valve design relies on experience and experiments, with repeated trial-and-error, low efficiency and high cost. Moreover, finite element analysis consumes a lot of calculation time and resources under high-precision meshes, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid iteration; the existing machine learning models lack sufficient high-quality training data support, resulting in limited prediction accuracy and generalization ability, and it is difficult to achieve a rapid mapping from target performance to geometric parameters, unable to meet the design requirements for specific performance requirements; the coupling between finite element analysis and deep learning models is not tight enough, and the advantages of both cannot be fully utilized; in terms of optimization, parameter optimization relies on manual parameter adjustment, lacking automated and multi-objective collaborative optimization capabilities.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide a valve performance simulation and optimization method and system based on hybrid deep learning to quickly simulate and optimize the performance of valves under different working conditions and improve the accuracy of valve performance prediction is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.

The input is the design variables, and the outputs are the maximum allowable stress σ max allowed for the material and the maximum allowable deformation u max ; Model verification: The stress error in the test set < 5%, and the deformation error < 5%;

[0096] Define a surrogate model confidence threshold (η = 0.9) for dynamic confidence evaluation. If the variance of the predicted value of σ max Var ≤ 10 MPa, skip the finite element verification; otherwise, calibrate with the simulation data;

[0102] Adaptive sampling: Generate new parameters in the sparse area to supplement the sampling points. The sparse area is the area in the target space that has not been covered; for example, if the target value in a certain area (σ max = 100 MPa, umax If there is no solution (e.g., σ ≤ 100 MPa, u ≤ 0.1 mm), 10 groups of new parameters are generated in this neighborhood;

[0103] The specific content of local refined search is as follows:

[0105] In this embodiment, 50% of the individuals with the best performance in the current Pareto solution set are selected. For example, if σ ≤ 100 MPa, u ≤ 0.1 mm, local search is conducted in its neighborhood; The defined neighborhood is the inlet temperature T ± 20 °C, and the input pressure σ ± 10 MPa; max ≤ 100 MPa, u max ≤ 0.1 mm, and local search is conducted in its neighborhood; The defined neighborhood is the inlet temperature T in ± 20 °C, and the input pressure σ in ± 10 MPa;
