• Abstract: Emulator embedded neural networks, which are a type of physics informed neural network, leverage multi-fidelity data sources for efficient design exploration of aerospace engineering systems. Multiple realizations of the neural network models are trained with different random initializations. The ensemble of model realizations is used to assess epistemic modeling uncertainty caused due to lack of training samples. This uncertainty estimation is crucial information for successful goal-oriented adaptive learning in an aerospace system design exploration. However, the costs of training the ensemble models often become prohibitive and pose a computational challenge, especially when the models are not trained in parallel during adaptive learning. In this work, a new type of emulator embedded neural network is presented using the rapid neural network paradigm. Unlike the conventional neural network training that optimizes the weights and biases of all the network layers by using gradient-based backpropagation, rapid neural network training adjusts only the last layer connection weights by applying a linear regression technique. It is found that the proposed emulator embedded neural network trains near-instantaneously, typically without loss of prediction accuracy. The proposed method is demonstrated on multiple analytical examples, as well as an aerospace flight parameter study of a generic hypersonic vehicle.

In the former approach, a neural network model mapping the inputs to the outputs of interest is trained based on the low-fidelity data. The high-fidelity data is then used to adapt the parameters of the upper layer(s) of the low-fidelity network, or train a simpler neural network to map the output of the low-fidelity network to that of the high-fidelity model.
