Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] Currently, traditional model order reduction methods mainly include the Krylov subspace method, equilibrium truncation method, orthogonal decomposition method, response surface model, and polynomial fitting method. These traditional methods suffer from significant shortcomings in both computational accuracy and efficiency, and are unsuitable for the strong transient characteristics of the non-azeotropic two-phase filling flow heat transfer process in the combustion chamber head cavity of liquid rocket engines, resulting in poor model order reduction performance. Therefore, this invention provides an intelligent model order reduction method for the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity of liquid rocket engines, which can alleviate the aforementioned problems in related technologies.
[0019] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a detailed description of the intelligent order reduction method for the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity of a liquid rocket engine, as disclosed in this embodiment, will be provided first. (See [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:
[0020] Step S102: Based on the structure and working principle of the combustion chamber head cavity of the liquid rocket engine, establish a numerical simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity of the liquid rocket engine.
[0021] Figure 2 The main structure of the combustion chamber head cavity of a liquid rocket engine is shown.
[0022] Step S104: Perform numerical simulation calculations based on the numerical simulation model and preset boundary conditions, and construct a dataset based on the numerical simulation calculation results.
[0023] Step S106: Train the preset neural network model based on the dataset to obtain the target reduced-order model of the combustion chamber head cavity of the liquid rocket engine.
[0024] The input variables of the preset neural network model may include the inlet mass flow rate, inlet temperature, outlet pressure, and initial wall temperature of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity, and the output variables of the preset neural network model may include the inlet pressure, outlet mass flow rate, outlet liquid oxygen volume fraction, outlet specific enthalpy, and outlet temperature of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity.
[0025] The aforementioned intelligent reduction method for the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity of a liquid rocket engine can characterize the complex non-azeotropic two-phase filling flow and heat transfer mechanism inside the combustion chamber head cavity based on a deep recurrent neural network architecture. This achieves intelligent reduction of the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity. Compared with traditional model reduction methods, the target reduction model shows excellent performance in both computational efficiency and accuracy. Furthermore, the input and output variables of the target reduction model correspond one-to-one with the interface variables of the combustion chamber head cavity in the engine system-level simulation model. Therefore, the intelligent reduction method for the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity can be seamlessly integrated into the system-level simulation of liquid rocket engines, significantly improving the computational accuracy of the simulation of the combustion chamber head cavity of liquid rocket engines.
[0026] As one possible implementation, step S102 (i.e., establishing a numerical simulation model of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity based on the structure and working principle of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity) may include: establishing a geometric model of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity based on the structure and working principle of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity; extracting the target fluid domain based on the geometric model, and establishing a numerical simulation model based on the target fluid domain and the fluid dynamic parameters of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity.
[0027] The target fluid domain includes the solid and fluid domains of the rocket engine combustion chamber inlet section, the rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity, the rocket engine combustion chamber bottom cavity, and the rocket engine combustion chamber injector.
[0028] In practical applications, the above geometric model can be a CAD geometric model. For example, a CAD geometric model of the combustion chamber head cavity can be established first based on the combustion chamber head cavity filling process; then, based on the established head cavity geometric model, the fluid domain is extracted, including the solid domain and fluid domain of the combustion chamber inlet section, combustion chamber head cavity, combustion chamber bottom cavity, and combustion chamber injector; finally, a numerical simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity is established based on the CFD method.
[0029] For example, the above numerical simulation model can describe the two-phase flow and evaporation boiling phenomenon during the two-phase filling process of the cryogenic propellant in the combustion chamber head cavity based on the multiphase flow model and the evaporation-condensation model. Taking the VOF (Volume of Fluid) model as an example, the above numerical simulation model can include the continuity equation, momentum equation and phase equation.
[0030] The VOF model is based on an interface tracing method using an Eulerian grid. In this method, incompatible fluid components share a common momentum equation, and phase volume fraction is introduced to achieve this. This variable is used to track the interfaces between phases within the computational domain. It represents the ratio of the volume of a phase to the volume of the grid in which it resides.
[0031]
[0032] Phase A represents phase A; Phase B represents phase B.
[0033] The VOF model can construct the interface by calculating the phase volume fraction of each grid cell in the entire computational domain.
[0034] In the governing equations of the VOF model, the continuity equation can be:
[0035]
[0036] in, For speed, For gradient.
[0037] The momentum equation can be:
[0038]
[0039] in, For density, t For time, It is the acceleration due to gravity. Viscosity, This refers to the force source item of the interface. This is equivalent to the pressure increment caused by interfacial tension at the interface.
[0040] .
[0041] in, For surface tension, This represents the phase volume fraction. Indicates curvature, combined with interfacial tension. This can be represented as the pressure difference across the interface. The total interface force source term can be expressed as the differential form of the interface pressure.
[0042] The phase equation can be: .
[0043] For example, the numerical simulation model described above may also include an evaporation-condensation model. The evaporation-condensation model can employ the LEE model, which can fit the saturation temperature under different pressure ranges through piecewise linear interpolation. It can perform calculations on evaporation and condensation problems.
[0044] In the LEE model, the mass transfer of the evaporation-condensation process is determined by the steam transport equation, which can be expressed as:
[0045]
[0046] Among them, subscript For vapor phase, subscript It is a liquid phase. and These represent the mass transfer rates of evaporation and condensation, respectively.
[0047] When the liquid phase temperature Above saturation temperature At that time, the expression for the mass transfer rate of evaporation is:
[0048]
[0049] at this time The evaporation coefficient is... It is the liquid volume fraction. ρ is the density of the liquid phase.
[0050] When the gas phase temperature Below saturation temperature At that time, the expression for the mass transfer rate of condensation is:
[0051]
[0052] at this time The condensation coefficient is . It is the liquid volume fraction. This refers to the density of the liquid phase. Numerical or physical experiments are needed to determine this. Perform calibration.
[0053] As one possible implementation, the aforementioned boundary conditions may include inlet boundary conditions, outlet boundary conditions, and wall boundary conditions. Based on this, the numerical simulation calculation in step S104, which involves performing numerical simulation calculations based on the numerical simulation model and preset boundary conditions, may include: setting the inlet boundary condition to a mass flow inlet, setting the outlet boundary condition to a pressure outlet, and setting the wall boundary condition to a fluid-structure interaction heat transfer surface; and performing numerical simulation calculations of the numerical simulation model by simulating the inlet mass flow rate, wall temperature, and outlet pressure under different operating conditions, and using the inlet boundary conditions, outlet boundary conditions, and wall boundary conditions as constraints.
[0054] As one possible implementation, the numerical simulation results may include first characteristic time series of inlet mass flow rate, inlet temperature, outlet pressure, and initial wall temperature, and second characteristic time series of inlet pressure, outlet mass flow rate, outlet liquid oxygen volume fraction, outlet specific enthalpy, and outlet temperature. Based on this, the step S104 of constructing a dataset based on the numerical simulation results may include: generating multiple time series samples based on the first and second characteristic time series, and combining the obtained time series samples into a dataset.
[0055] Each time series sample has its own corresponding input information and label information. The input information includes the inlet mass flow rate, inlet temperature, outlet pressure and initial wall temperature corresponding to the corresponding time series sample. The label information includes the inlet pressure, outlet mass flow rate, outlet liquid oxygen volume fraction, outlet specific enthalpy and outlet temperature corresponding to the corresponding time series sample.
[0056] The numerical simulation model established in step S102 above requires the combination of inlet boundary conditions, outlet boundary conditions, and wall boundary conditions to perform numerical simulation calculations. For example, the inlet boundary condition can be set as a mass flow rate inlet, the outlet boundary condition as a pressure outlet, and the boundary conditions of the fluid-structure interaction wall (i.e., wall boundary conditions) can be defined as the fluid-structure interaction heat transfer surface. The core calculation process of the numerical simulation model is based on the finite volume method for numerical solution. In this calculation process, physical quantities are integrated and discretized within a discrete control volume, thereby transforming the partial differential equation system into an algebraic-differential equation system, which is then solved iteratively. To achieve this calculation process, a pressure-based solver is used, and the SIMPLE algorithm is selected for calculation. To comprehensively simulate the two-phase filling process of the combustion chamber head cavity, various different operating conditions (including different inlet mass flow rates, wall temperatures, and outlet pressures) are set for numerical simulation calculations of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity. Specifically, the operating conditions cover different engine start-up sequences, different start-up methods, and combustion chamber head cavity temperatures, etc. Through numerical simulation calculations under different working conditions, a series of characteristic time series (in the form of transient time series data) were extracted. After standardization and normalization, a dataset for subsequent analysis was finally constructed.
[0057] As one possible implementation, the aforementioned pre-defined neural network model may include a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), or a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. Term Memory (LSTM), Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN), Transformer neural network model based on self-attention mechanism, etc., are not limited to this.
[0058] Taking GRU as an example, step S106 above (i.e., training a preset neural network model based on the dataset to obtain the target reduced-order model of the liquid rocket engine combustion chamber head cavity) may include: constructing a training set and a test set for GRU based on the dataset; using the mean squared error (MSE) as the loss function of GRU, using Adam as the optimizer, training GRU using the training set, and adjusting the parameters of GRU using the test set during the training process, and obtaining the target reduced-order model after training.
[0059] GRU is a gated recurrent neural network model, where gating is a mechanism that captures short-term and long-term dependencies in a sequence. In GRU, the input at each time step controls the flow of information through update and reset gates, thus constructing a dynamically dependent network architecture. Compared to traditional RNNs, GRU's structure reduces the number of parameters by simplifying the gating mechanism, while improving computational efficiency. Using the GRU architecture, the complex non-azeotropic two-phase filling flow and heat transfer characteristics inside the combustion chamber head cavity can be extracted to achieve model order reduction.
[0060] GRU controls the flow of information through reset and update gates, effectively capturing short-term and long-term dependencies in a sequence. The core formula of GRU includes the calculation of reset gate, update gate, candidate hidden state, and current hidden state. The final output of GRU is obtained by mapping the hidden states.
[0061] The formula for calculating the reset gate is as follows:
[0062]
[0063] To reset the value of the door; For activation function, To reset the weight matrix of the gate, This is the hidden state from the previous moment. For the current input, To reset the door's bias. Used to control the hidden state of the previous moment. Candidate hidden state at the current moment The impact.
[0064] The formula for calculating the update gate is as follows:
[0065]
[0066] To update the value of the gate, To update the gate weight matrix, To update the bias term of the gate. Used to control the hidden state of the previous moment. and the candidate hidden state at the current moment The weight.
[0067] The formula for calculating the candidate hidden state is as follows:
[0068]
[0069] Let be the candidate hidden state at the current time, and let represent the potential hidden state at the current time. The hyperbolic tangent activation function is used. Let be the weight matrix of the candidate hidden states. For Hadamard product, The bias term for the candidate hidden state.
[0070] The formula for calculating the current hidden state is as follows:
[0071]
[0072] The current hidden state is the same as the previous hidden state. and candidate hidden state The weighted sum; To update the complement value of the gate, it means retaining the hidden state from the previous moment. The proportion; To update the value of the gate, we need to introduce the candidate hidden state at the current time step. The proportion.
[0073] The input and output of the GRU are both sequential data. This embodiment of the invention proposes using the inlet mass flow rate, inlet temperature, outlet pressure, and initial wall temperature of the combustion chamber head cavity as the GRU input, and the inlet pressure, outlet mass flow rate, outlet liquid oxygen volume fraction, outlet specific enthalpy, and outlet temperature as the GRU output. The time step is the number of numerical simulation time steps contained in a training sample. The GRU input and output are data from the same time step; that is, the GRU does not predict future data, and the time step can be set as needed. Training data is transmitted in the network in batches, with each batch containing multiple training samples.
[0074] For example, MSE can be used as the loss function for GRU, and Adam can be selected as the optimizer. Training and testing sets for GRU can be constructed based on the pre-built dataset. This process is essentially an intelligent model reduction process. The specific training process of GRU is described below:
[0075] 1) Perform forward propagation: The input sequence is passed through the update gate and reset gate of GRU to calculate the hidden state step by step, thereby obtaining the output value.
[0076] The output value of GRU is calculated using the following formula:
[0077]
[0078] This is the output value at the current moment. This is the weight matrix of the output layer. This is the bias term for the output layer.
[0079] 2) Calculate the loss function (Compute Loss): Compare the output value of GRU (corresponding to the corresponding input sample) with the actual label value (included in the label information of the corresponding input sample) to calculate the value of the loss function.
[0080] 3) Perform backpropagation: Calculate the derivative of the GRU parameters with respect to the loss function to determine the degree of influence of each parameter on the loss function, and use the chain rule to propagate the gradient to each time step.
[0081] 4) Update Parameters: With the goal of minimizing the loss function, the values of each parameter are adjusted according to the preset step size, following the gradient descent method.
[0082] The process is repeated from step 1) to step 4) until the goal of minimizing the loss function is achieved, at which point training ends. However, during the training of the GRU, due to its recursive computation and nonlinear activation functions, problems such as vanishing or exploding gradients can easily occur, affecting the training effect. To solve these problems, gradient clipping, weight initialization, and batch normalization can be used. During the training of the GRU, the test set is used to tune the GRU parameters. The GRU with the best performance obtained after training is the reduced-order model of the combustion chamber head cavity.
[0083] For example, Figure 3 This paper presents an intelligent reduction process for the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity of a liquid rocket engine. First, a numerical simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity is established. Then, boundary conditions are set to perform numerical simulation calculations under different operating conditions and a dataset is established. Finally, a reduced-order model of the combustion chamber head cavity is determined by using a deep learning framework, a recursive network architecture, determining the input and output format, and model training and evaluation.
[0084] In summary, this invention proposes an intelligent order reduction method for the simulation model of the combustion chamber head cavity of a liquid rocket engine. This method is based on a deep recurrent neural network architecture to characterize the complex non-azeotropic two-phase filling flow heat transfer mechanism inside the combustion chamber head cavity. Compared with traditional order reduction methods, the intelligent order reduction model obtained by this method shows excellent performance in both computational efficiency and accuracy. Since this method sets clear input and output variables for the intelligent order reduction model used to simulate the two-phase filling flow heat transfer process of the combustion chamber head cavity, and these variables correspond one-to-one with the interface variables of the combustion chamber head cavity in the engine system-level simulation model, this method is suitable for engine system-level simulation and can significantly improve the computational accuracy of the combustion chamber head cavity components in the engine system-level simulation model.
