• Abstract: Design exploration or optimization using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is commonly used in the industry. Geometric variation is a key component of such design problems, especially in turbulent flow scenarios, which involves running costly simulations at every design iteration. While parametric RANS-PINN type approaches have been proven to make effective turbulent surrogates, as a means of predicting unknown Reynolds number flows for a given geometry at near real-time, geometry aware physics informed surrogates with the ability to predict varying geometries are a relatively less studied topic. A novel geometry aware parametric PINN surrogate model has been created, which can predict flow fields for NACA 4 digit airfoils in turbulent conditions, for unseen shapes as well as inlet flow conditions. A local+global approach for embedding has been proposed, where known global design parameters for an airfoil as well as local SDF values can be used as inputs to the model along with velocity inlet/Reynolds number ($\mathcal{R}_e$) to predict the flow fields. A RANS formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations with a 2-equation k-epsilon turbulence model has been used for the PDE losses, in addition to limited CFD data from 8 different NACA airfoils for training. The models have then been validated with unknown NACA airfoils at unseen Reynolds numbers.

  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.

To account for the additional complexity introduced by turbulence, RANS-PINN employs a 2-equation eddy viscosity model based on a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) formulation.

  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.

  Recent state-of-the-art (SOTA) optical flow models use finite-step recurrent update operations to emulate traditional algorithms. These RNNs impose large computation and memory overheads, and are not directly trained to model such stable estimation. We propose deep equilibrium (DEQ) flow estimators, an approach that directly solves for the flow as the infinite-level fixed point of an implicit layer.
