Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow field dynamics feature analysis technology, specifically to a method for extracting spatiotemporal features and analyzing the evolution of flow fields based on Optimal Mode Decomposition (OMD) and Two-Dimensional Fast Fourier Transform (2D-FFT). Background Technology
[0002] Extracting and analyzing the evolution of unsteady flow field dynamics is a core research area in experimental fluid mechanics, aerospace aerodynamic design, and energy and power engineering. With the widespread adoption of high-frequency particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV) and high-fidelity numerical simulation (DNS / LES) techniques, researchers can acquire flow field data sequences containing massive amounts of spatiotemporal information. However, accurately decoupling the coherent structures that dominate the flow field evolution from the original flow field, which is characterized by strong noise, multi-scale features, and extremely high nonlinearity, and quantifying its spatiotemporal evolution properties, remains a challenge in the field of fluid mechanics post-processing.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream methods for flow field modal decomposition include intrinsic orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). POD extracts the main energy modes of the flow field through singular value decomposition (SVD), but its essence is a linear dimensionality reduction of spatial correlation. A single mode often contains multiple frequency components, making it difficult to directly correspond to the physical dynamic evolution process. While DMD can extract single-frequency modes through eigenvalue analysis of linear operators, it exhibits poor robustness when facing complex flow fields containing measurement noise or broad-spectrum features (such as cavitation flow and unsteady separated flow). It often suffers from eigenvalue deviation, disordered mode ordering, and unclear energy definitions, leading to an inability to accurately reconstruct the dynamic essence of the flow field.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, this invention proposes an unsteady flow field analysis method that can take into account dynamic evolution stability, high-contrast spatial identification, and refined wavenumber spectrum quantization, which has important scientific significance and engineering value for revealing complex flow mechanisms.
