• Abstract: In the realm of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), accurate prediction of aerodynamic behaviour plays a pivotal role in aerofoil design and optimization. This study proposes a novel approach that synergistically combines autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) for the purpose of generating CFD results. Our innovative framework harnesses the intrinsic capabilities of autoencoders to encode aerofoil geometries into a compressed and informative 20-length vector representation. Subsequently, a conditional GAN network adeptly translates this vector into precise pressure-distribution plots, accounting for fixed wind velocity, angle of attack, and turbulence level specifications. The training process utilizes a meticulously curated dataset acquired from JavaFoil software, encompassing a comprehensive range of aerofoil geometries. The proposed approach exhibits profound potential in reducing the time and costs associated with aerodynamic prediction, enabling efficient evaluation of aerofoil performance. The findings contribute to the advancement of computational techniques in fluid dynamics and pave the way for enhanced design and optimization processes in aerodynamics.

  We focus on Federated learning (FL) via edge-the-air computation (AirComp) We describe the convergence of AirComp-based FedAvg (AirFedAvg) algorithms under both convex and non- convex settings. For different types of local updates that can be transmitted by edge devices (i.e., model, gradient, model difference), we reveal that transmitting in AirFedAvg may cause an aggregation error. In addition, we consider more practical signal processing schemes to improve the communication efficiency and extend the convergence analysis to different forms of model aggregation error caused by these signal processing schemes.
