• Authors: Claudia Drygala, Francesca di Mare, Hanno Gottschalk
• Abstract summary: generative adversarial networks (GAN) for the synthetic modeling of turbulence is a mathematically well-founded approach to overcome this issue. In this work, we investigate the generalization capabilites of GAN-based synthetic turbulence generators when geometrical changes occur in the flow configuration. We show the abilities and limits of generalization for the conditional GAN by extending the regions of the extracted wake positions.

• Abstract: Turbulent flow consists of structures with a wide range of spatial and temporal scales which are hard to resolve numerically. Classical numerical methods as the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) are able to capture fine details of turbulent structures but come at high computational cost. Applying generative adversarial networks (GAN) for the synthetic modeling of turbulence is a mathematically well-founded approach to overcome this issue. In this work, we investigate the generalization capabilites of GAN-based synthetic turbulence generators when geometrical changes occur in the flow configuration (e.g. aerodynamic geometric optimization of structures such as airfoils). As training data, we use the flow around a low-pressure turbine (LPT) stator with periodic wake impact obtained from highly resolved LES. To simulate the flow around a LPT stator, we use the conditional deep convolutional GAN framework pix2pixHD conditioned on the position of a rotating wake in front of the stator. For the generalization experiments we exclude images of wake positions located at certain regions from the training data and use the unseen data for testing. We show the abilities and limits of generalization for the conditional GAN by extending the regions of the extracted wake positions successively. Finally, we evaluate the statistical properties of the synthesized flow field by comparison with the corresponding LES results.

  aerodynamics is a key problem in aerospace engineering, often involving flows interacting with solid objects such as airfoils. Here, we consider modeling of incompressible flows over solid objects, wherein geometric structures are a key factor in determining aerodynamics. To effectively incorporate geometries, we propose a message passing scheme that efficiently and expressively integrates the airfoil shape with the mesh representation. These design choices lead to a purely data-driven machine learning framework known as GeoMPNN, which won the Best Student Submission award at the NeurIPS 2024 ML4CFD Competition, placing 4th overall.

  We introduce SeaDAG, a semi-autoregressive diffusion model for conditional generation of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) Unlike conventional autoregressive generation that lacks a global graph structure view, our method maintains a complete graph structure at each diffusion step. We explicitly train the model to learn graph conditioning with a condition loss, which enhances the diffusion model's capacity to generate realistic DAGs.
