• Abstract: We propose to incorporate Riemannian geometric features from the geometry of aircraft wing surfaces in the prediction of coefficient of pressure (CP) on the aircraft wing. Contrary to existing approaches that treat the wing surface as a flat object, we represent the wing as a piecewise smooth manifold and calculate a set of Riemannian geometric features (Riemannian metric, connection, and curvature) over points of the wing. Combining these features in neighborhoods of points on the wing with coordinates and flight conditions gives inputs to a deep learning model that predicts CP distributions. Experimental results show that the method with incorporation of Riemannian geometric features, compared to state-of-the-art Deep Attention Network (DAN), reduces the predicted mean square error (MSE) of CP by an average of 15.00% for the DLR-F11 aircraft test set.

• A Geometry-Aware Message Passing Neural Network for Modeling Aerodynamics over Airfoils [61.60175086194333]
  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.

  Two deep learning-based generative schemes are proposed to capture the complexity of the design space while satisfying specific constraints.

The hard-constrained scheme produces airfoils with a wider range of geometric diversity while strictly adhering to the geometric constraints.
