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, 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 performance is estimated using relevant empirical formulas such as the Darcy-Weisbach formula. However, these experiments are costly and time-consuming, and empirical formulas lack the ability to generalize to complex operating conditions.

[0004] Finite element simulation technology (FEA): Use tools such as ANSYS and COMSOL to perform stress analysis on valve structures and simulate material deformation and fatigue life. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is used to simulate the flow field distribution inside the valve (such as flow velocity and pressure gradient). However, high-precision simulation requires dense meshing, which is computationally time-consuming and can take several hours to several days for a single simulation.

[0005] Traditional optimization methods: Adjusting valve parameters based on trial and error or response surface methodology lacks the ability to effectively handle multi-objective and nonlinear problems, relies on manual experience to adjust parameters, and is difficult to achieve automated optimization.

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