[0002] Gas turbines are core power equipment in modern industry, characterized by high-efficiency power generation, rapid response, and clean energy utilization. They are an important component of modern power systems. At the same time, gas turbines can provide powerful power for aircraft engines, ship propulsion, and oil and gas pipeline transportation. They are also a reliable power system for military equipment such as fighter jets and warships, and are of great significance to national energy security and defense security.

[0003] Gas turbine blades operate in harsh environments with high temperatures and high speeds for extended periods. Furthermore, due to grid fluctuations, changes in operating conditions, and the influence of actual environmental factors, the operating conditions of the blades are subject to various uncertainties. These uncertainties not only increase the risk of blade failure under extreme conditions but also lead to performance degradation under high-frequency conditions. Therefore, optimizing the reliability design of the blades is crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the unit.

[0004] However, in the robust optimization problem of turbine blade reliability, the input includes multiple uncertain parameters such as geometry and operation, and the output covers multiple response parameters such as aerodynamic performance, strength characteristics, and fatigue life.

When training the gas turbine performance prediction network (i.e., the surrogate model), the low-fidelity prediction network is trained using the low-fidelity sample data and its response data to predict the response data corresponding to the low-fidelity sample data. Then, the predicted values ​​of the low-fidelity prediction network and the high-fidelity sample data are used to correct the predicted values, thereby outputting high-fidelity response data. In other words, the actual prediction is performed by the low-fidelity surrogate model, and only the high-fidelity sample data is used for correction. This fully utilizes the complementary advantages of the high-fidelity model data and the low-fidelity model data, improving processing efficiency and reducing computational costs while ensuring the model's prediction accuracy.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0039] Currently, the optimization of the geometric parameters of turbine blades faces multiple challenges: First, its inputs include uncertain parameters from multiple sources such as geometry and operation, while the outputs cover multiple response parameters such as aerodynamic performance, strength characteristics, and fatigue life. The method of obtaining a high-precision surrogate model by building a database requires a lot of time and computational resources to obtain sufficient sample data, resulting in high computational costs. Second, the robustness optimization problem involves multiple objective parameters, and the reliability constraints involve solving probability integrals, which makes robust reliability optimization a high-dimensional, multi-peak nonlinear programming problem. Traditional optimization algorithms are inefficient and prone to getting trapped in local optima. Finally, the physical field data of gas turbines have characteristics such as ultra-high dimensionality, strong nonlinearity, and spatiotemporal coupling. Traditional surrogate models often directly map input parameters to performance parameters, resulting in low prediction accuracy and a lack of physical interpretability.

[0040] Therefore, establishing a fast, accurate, and efficient robust optimization method for the reliability of gas turbine blades is of great significance for shortening the blade design cycle, reducing the performance fluctuation of the turbine under the influence of multiple uncertain factors, and ensuring the safe and stable operation of the gas turbine.

[0041] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] One embodiment of the present invention relates to a method for optimizing the geometric parameters of a turbine blade. The specific process of the method for optimizing the geometric parameters of a turbine blade in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0043] Step 101: Based on the geometric parameters, operating parameters, and material parameters of the turbine blade, model the turbine blade to obtain multiple first input samples with a first fidelity and multiple second input samples with a second fidelity; wherein, the first fidelity is less than the second fidelity.

[0044] Step 102: Obtain the performance parameters of the turbine blade corresponding to each first input sample and each second input sample, respectively, as the first response sample and the second response sample.

[0045] Step 103: Train the gas turbine performance prediction network, which includes a first fidelity prediction network and a correction network, using multiple first input samples, multiple second input samples, multiple first response samples, and multiple second response samples. During training, the first fidelity prediction network is trained using the first input samples and the first response samples to predict the first response sample corresponding to the first input sample. The correction network is trained using the first response sample and the second input sample predicted by the first fidelity prediction network to predict the second response sample corresponding to the first input sample.

[0046] Step 104: Using the trained gas turbine performance prediction network, predict the performance parameters of the target turbine blade based on its geometric parameters, operating parameters, and material parameters. Optimize the geometric parameters of the target turbine blade with the goal of maximizing the reliability and robustness of the target turbine blade indicated by the predicted performance parameters.

[0047] The following is a detailed description of the implementation details of the turbine blade geometric parameter optimization method in this embodiment. The following content is only for the convenience of understanding and is not necessary for implementing this solution.

[0048] In step 101, a reasonable numerical calculation method is first adopted to determine the weak points of the turbine blade. Based on the actual situation of the blade, the design space of the turbine blade's geometric parameters and the environmental space of its operating parameters and material parameters are determined. First, gas-thermal-structure calculations are performed on the turbine blade to identify the blade root region and the rounded corner region at the bottom of the blade body as weak points. Then, parametric modeling is performed on these weak points, forming the geometric parameter design space. D Its expression is as follows:

[0049] ;

[0050] In the formula, g For parameters of the leaf root region; r This refers to the parameters for the rounded corner area at the bottom of the blade; the superscripts - and + indicate the lower and upper bounds of the parameters, respectively.

[0051] Based on the actual operating conditions of the blades, determine the operating parameters, material parameters, and environmental space. C Its expression is as follows:

[0052] ;

[0053] In the formula, c These are operating parameters, including total gas inlet temperature, total gas inlet pressure, gas outlet flow rate, total cooling air inlet temperature, total cooling air inlet pressure, and engine speed. mThese are the parameters of the blade material, including density, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, thermal conductivity, and thermal conductivity.

[0054] Then, Latin hypercube sampling is used to generate high-fidelity and low-fidelity sample sets. Traditional surrogate models built from single-fidelity data sources often face a trade-off between accuracy and efficiency during training. Specifically, high-fidelity (HF) models, due to their accurate modeling of physical problems, can produce high-confidence results, such as fine-grid models in FEM, direct numerical models in CFD, and full-scale experimental studies. However, such high-fidelity models are often accompanied by high computational / experimental costs, severely limiting the sample size. Conversely, low-fidelity (LF) models introduce simplification methods, significantly reducing computational / experimental costs while sacrificing some accuracy, such as using coarse grids, empirical formulas, and using characteristic simulations for experiments. Such low-fidelity (LF) models can quickly generate large amounts of data, but their inherent simplification errors can lead to systematic biases, especially significant when dealing with complex problems involving strong nonlinearity and multi-field coupling. In this embodiment, in the geometric parameter design space... D Operating parameters and material parameters, environmental space C Within this, a small initial sample set is constructed using the Latin hypercube sampling method. YB .

[0055] In step 102, numerical calculation methods are used to solve for the true responses of high-fidelity and low-fidelity samples respectively, and a training dataset is constructed. For the initial sample set established above... YB The true response of the sample is solved using a fine grid. R 1. Use a coarse grid to solve for the true response of the sample. R 2. The samples and response results are processed into the format required for network training. In this embodiment, the high-fidelity and low-fidelity samples differ only in mesh fineness. Both are responses calculated using geometric, operating, and material parameters to obtain the current sample's response, including turbine stage power and efficiency, turbine blade temperature field parameters, and stress and strain at weak points in the turbine blade. The training dataset format needs to be constructed according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the low-fidelity prediction model LF is a fully connected deep neural network, and the high-fidelity prediction model HF is a graph convolutional neural network. The low-fidelity training dataset... T LF and high-fidelity training dataset T HF They are shown below:

[0056] ;

[0057] ;

[0058] In the formula, I The sample number matrixN This is a set of node location information and node attributes for each sample. A It is the set of adjacency matrices representing the connection relationships between nodes in each sample.

[0059] In step 103, a gas turbine performance prediction network based on a multi-fidelity hybrid network is constructed and trained. Multi-fidelity modeling leverages the complementary advantages of integrating high-fidelity (HF) and low-fidelity (LF) model data. Furthermore, traditional surrogate models are often limited by their prior assumptions, while deep neural networks still exhibit good prediction accuracy when facing high-dimensional, strongly nonlinear problems. Establishing a gas turbine performance prediction network based on a multi-fidelity hybrid network can provide a new solution to the accuracy-efficiency trade-off problem in the process of high-precision and rapid prediction of gas turbine performance. (See also...) Figure 2 The gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN consists of two sub-networks connected in series, and is a low-fidelity prediction network. Used to predict values ​​for low-fidelity data, and to correct the network. This is used to fit the complex mapping relationship from low-fidelity data to high-fidelity data. In this embodiment, a low-fidelity prediction network... A fully connected deep neural network with multiple hidden layers is used. Its input is the design variables, and its output is the predicted low-fidelity turbine performance parameters. The specific mapping is as follows:

[0060] ;

[0061] In the formula, x The input vector includes geometric parameters, operating condition parameters, and material parameters. These are predicted values ​​for low-fidelity data, including turbine blade stress, strain, turbine power, and efficiency. For low-fidelity prediction networks The parameters to be learned in the text.

[0062] Correction network A graph convolutional neural network with multiple graph convolutional hidden layers is used, with the design variables and a low-fidelity prediction network as inputs. Predicted value The output is the predicted high-fidelity turbine performance parameters, specifically mapped as follows:

[0063] ;

[0064] In the formula, For high-fidelity data, the predicted value is... To correct the parameters to be learned in the network.

[0065] The gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN was trained using supervised learning. The specific steps, based on a phased training strategy, are as follows:

[0066] S31, using a low-fidelity training dataset T LF Update the low-fidelity prediction network Learnable parameters Minimize the network's loss function Low-fidelity prediction network The training process is as follows:

[0067] ;

[0068] In the formula, For low-fidelity prediction networks The loss function is defined as the true value of low-fidelity data. Predicted values ​​compared to low-fidelity data The mean squared error is calculated, and a regularization loss is introduced, which is defined as follows:

[0069] ;

[0070] In the formula, M For low-fidelity training sample size, λ LF For low-fidelity prediction networks Regularization rate w LF For low-fidelity prediction networks Weighting coefficients. These are used in the loss function. By adding the product of the sum of squares of the network weight coefficients and the regularization rate, the model is forced to reduce parameter redundancy while minimizing prediction error, so as to balance the trade-off between model complexity and training error and prevent network overfitting.

[0075] S33: Based on the active learning sampling method, an adaptive learning function AU suitable for multi-fidelity surrogate models is constructed. For reliability analysis problems, the core of active learning sampling lies in designing the optimal sampling strategy to enable the surrogate model to more accurately identify the boundary between the failure domain and the safety domain, i.e., the limit state surface, until the convergence criterion related to the accuracy of failure probability assessment is met. Its mathematical essence is to construct a Bayesian optimization problem with the goal of minimizing the failure probability estimation error. For the gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN based on a multi-fidelity hybrid network, its active learning process should have a dual decision-making dimension: in addition to determining the location of new sample points, it is also necessary to determine the fidelity level required for updating samples, i.e., which fidelity model should be called during the active learning process, thereby maximizing the overall surrogate model accuracy improvement while minimizing the sample acquisition cost. To solve the above problems, this invention proposes an adaptive learning function AU suitable for multi-fidelity surrogate models, whose mathematical expression is as follows:

[0076] ;

[0077]

[0078] ;

[0079] In the formula, t Indicates model fidelity. c ( t Let be the cost function, representing the ratio of the acquisition cost of low-fidelity data to that of high-fidelity data. This represents the probability that a sample point is accurately identified as having a symbol by the current proxy model. It is a cross-correlation function. Let be the probability density function. Let it be a distance function. The mean of the predicted values, This represents the variance of the predicted values.

[0080] New sample points can be obtained based on the established adaptive learning function AU. x newand the corresponding fidelity t new Its expression is as follows:

[0081] ;

[0082] The convergence criterion for the adaptive learning function AU is equally important. An overly aggressive criterion can lead to insufficient prediction accuracy in the surrogate model, while an overly conservative criterion can result in unnecessary waste of computational resources. This invention uses a stability-based convergence criterion, where the predicted values ​​of high-fidelity data... If no significant changes occur during the iteration process, the model is considered to have converged and the addition of points is stopped. Its mathematical expression is as follows:

[0083]

[0084] in, The convergence threshold should be selected reasonably according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the value is 0.01.

[0085] S34: The gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN is trained using an adaptive learning function AU. (See also...) Figure 3 Based on the existing sample set, the low-fidelity prediction network obtained in S31 and S32 is used. and correction network The results are predicted, and the model's predictions are judged based on a stability convergence criterion. If the model fails to converge, an adaptive learning function AU is used to determine new sample points. x new and the corresponding fidelity t new The true response of the relevant fidelity model was calculated using numerical methods, added to the initial sample set, and the low-fidelity prediction network was retrained. and correction network The model prediction results are then re-evaluated using a stability convergence criterion; if the model converges, the current low-fidelity prediction network is saved. and correction network The learnable parameter results were used to complete the training of the gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN.

[0086] In step 104, based on the trained gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN, a two-layer recurrent framework is used to perform reliability robustness optimization of the gas turbine blades. (See also...) Figure 4This invention proposes a two-layer cyclic framework. The inner layer uses Monte Carlo (MC) sampling to obtain the mean and variance of turbine performance parameters, as well as the failure probability of turbine blades. The outer layer, based on the data obtained from the inner layer, optimizes the turbine geometry parameters by maximizing the mean and minimizing the variance of the turbine performance parameters, while setting the failure probability of the turbine blades as a constraint. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0087] S41: Construct the inner Monte Carlo loop. This is based on the current input turbine blade root region parameters. g Parameters of the rounded corner area at the bottom of the leaf r Monte Carlo sampling (MC) was used to measure the environmental space of operating parameters and material parameters. C Internally, regarding operating parameters c Blade material parameters m Sampling is performed, and based on the high-precision gas turbine performance prediction network GT-MFHN trained in S4, rapid prediction is made for each operating point to obtain the power, efficiency, stress, strain and other parameters of the turbine blades at each operating point.

[0088] S42: Calculate the environmental space of the operating parameters and material parameters under the current geometric parameters. C The uncertainty response of turbine performance parameters is quantified using mean and variance. Simultaneously, based on relevant life prediction models, the lifespan of the turbine blades at each operating point is calculated, along with the failure probability of the turbine blades. The formulas for calculating the mean and variance of the performance parameters are as follows:

[0090] ;

[0091] In the formula, For performance parameters l The mean of the uncertainty response, For performance indicators l Uncertainty response standard deviation, performance parameters l Including turbine power W and efficiency wait, The number of samples for Monte Carlo sampling (MC).

[0092] The fatigue life of gas turbine blades can be characterized as an implicit function of stress or strain. N f ( z If ), then its limit state function for fatigue reliability assessment g ( z This can be represented as:

[0093] ;

[0094] In the formula, The defined safe life represents the design life under a certain safety margin. Its specific value needs to be determined by a combination of factors such as design requirements, risk assessment, and historical data.

[0095] Failure probability P f It can be represented as:

[0096] ;

[0097] S43: Construct an outer-layer robust optimization loop. Select an appropriate optimization method, and based on the data obtained from the inner layer, use maximizing the mean and minimizing the variance of turbine performance parameters as the optimization objectives. Simultaneously, set the constraint as the failure probability of the turbine blades, and perform iterative optimization of the turbine blade geometry parameters. Turbine power. W and turbine efficiency The mathematical description of robust multi-objective optimization can be expressed as follows:

[0098] , ;

[0099] In the formula, The defined failure probability threshold.

[0100] A heuristic non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used for reliability robustness optimization. It divides individuals in the population into different non-dominated levels and calculates the crowding distance for individuals in each non-dominated level. d i The algorithm selects individuals to form a new parent population based on the current non-dominated level and crowding distance, iterating until a termination condition is met, ultimately obtaining the Pareto optimal solution set. It possesses powerful global search capabilities, effectively exploring the entire design space, and is naturally suitable for parallel computation under multiple operating conditions, exhibiting significant advantages in robust optimization problems related to the reliability of gas turbine blades. Among these advantages, the crowding distance... d i The expression is as follows:

[0101] ;

[0102] In the formula, and For individuals i In the objective function f k The function values ​​of adjacent individuals, and For each individual in the non-dominated level, the objective function is... fk The maximum and minimum values ​​on.

[0103] The relevant parameters in the optimization algorithm should be selected based on optimization efficiency and actual computing resources. In this embodiment, considering optimization efficiency and computational cost, the population size is set to 200, the maximum number of iterations is 100, the crossover probability is 0.9, the mutation probability is 0.1, and both the crossover distribution index and the mutation distribution index are 20.

[0104] S44: A dual-layer loop framework is used to optimize the performance of the gas turbine. When the optimal solution set has not changed or the maximum number of iterations has been reached, the optimization stops and the final optimal solution set is output.

[0105] The turbine blade geometry parameter optimization method of this embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0106] 1. By constructing an adaptive learning function, the relevant parameters and fidelity of newly added sample points are actively obtained, and the surrogate model is automatically updated until the accuracy requirements are met. The training process is highly versatile and requires no manual intervention, achieving efficient utilization of training samples and greatly reducing the time and computational costs required to construct the dataset.

[0107] 2. The multi-fidelity hybrid network includes a low-fidelity prediction network and a correction network. It fully utilizes the complementary advantages of high-fidelity model data and low-fidelity model data to achieve multi-source data fusion. It can provide a new solution to the accuracy-efficiency trade-off problem in the process of high-precision and rapid prediction of gas turbine performance. At the same time, the correction network considers the physical field information of the model, which is more accurate and more interpretable than traditional proxy models.

[0108] 3. A two-layer loop architecture is adopted for reliability robust optimization. The inner layer uses a trained multi-fidelity hybrid network to quickly obtain the response under different operating conditions and calculate the reliability and robustness parameters of the turbine blade. The outer layer performs reliability robust optimization of the blade in the entire design space based on the response of the inner layer. This can obtain a design scheme that combines aerodynamic robustness and strength reliability, ensuring the high efficiency and reliability of turbine operation.

[0109] 4. By employing an optimization method to conduct multi-objective optimization for multiple optimization variables in the reliability optimization problem, while maintaining the orthogonality of the objective functions, the Pareto optimal solution set can be obtained completely, providing decision-makers with a multi-dimensional optimization choice space. This method is characterized by fast computation speed, low complexity, and good convergence.
