• Abstract: Machine learning-based models provide a promising way to rapidly acquire transonic swept wing flow fields but suffer from large computational costs in establishing training datasets. Here, we propose a physics-embedded transfer learning framework to efficiently train the model by leveraging the idea that a three-dimensional flow field around wings can be analyzed with two-dimensional flow fields around cross-sectional airfoils. An airfoil aerodynamics prediction model is pretrained with airfoil samples. Then, an airfoil-to-wing transfer model is fine-tuned with a few wing samples to predict three-dimensional flow fields based on two-dimensional results on each spanwise cross section. Sweep theory is embedded when determining the corresponding airfoil geometry and operating conditions, and to obtain the sectional airfoil lift coefficient, which is one of the operating conditions, the low-fidelity vortex lattice method and data-driven methods are proposed and evaluated. Compared to a nontransfer model, introducing the pretrained model reduces the error by 30%, while introducing sweep theory further reduces the error by 9%. When reducing the dataset size, less than half of the wing training samples are need to reach the same error level as the nontransfer framework, which makes establishing the model much easier.

  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.
