Intelligent reconstruction of unsteady combustion flow field of scramjet based on physical information constraints

Abstract

To alleviate the problem of high-fidelity data dependence and inexplicability in pure data-driven neural network models, physical informed neural networks (PINNs) provide a new learning paradigm. This study constructs an efficient, accurate, and robust PINN framework for predicting unsteady combustion flow fields based on Navier–Stokes (NS) equation constraints. To achieve fast prediction of a multi-physical field in a scramjet combustion chamber, we propose a U-shaped residual neural network model based on feature information fusion. The model uses a residual neural network module as the backbone, uses jump connection to improve model generalization, and uses the U-shaped structure to fuse the receptive field features with different scales to enhance the feature expression ability of the model. To prevent improper assumptions from leading to wrong method constraints, we consider the flow characteristic mechanism of each physical field to constrain the neural network and verify its accuracy through numerical simulation of the unsteady flow field in the scramjet combustor with Mach number (Ma) 2.0. This method can accurately predict the multi-physical field of unsteady turbulent combustion based on the time, space, Ma and turbulent eddy viscosity coefficients of a small number of samples. Specially, the proposed physical driven and data driven fusion proxy model can predict the unsteady combustion flow field in milliseconds. It has important reference value to solve the problem of low calculation efficiency of a traditional numerical simulation method of a combustion process.
