매니폴드 데이터 증강기법 기반의 딥러닝 방법론을 적용한 축소 모델 개발

This study presents a deep learning-based framework to predict the aerodynamic performance of low Reynolds number airfoils. The framework employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) combined with a variational autoencoder (VAE) to efficiently handle large datasets. Moreover, the signed distance function is used as the network input to represent the airfoil configuration in the image data and parameterize the CNN. A novel generative model based on projection-based manifold learning is proposed to overcome the data mining limitation of computational fluid dynamics which may incur significant computational costs. The interpolation and extrapolation accuracy of the proposed framework is evaluated using the NACA 4-digit airfoil configuration.The results show improved accuracy via data augmentation performed by the proposed generative model.
