The paper introduces a correction framework that grounds a CFD-trained deep learning surrogate model for aerospace aerodynamics using wind‑tunnel pressure‑sensor (PSP) data. By training a correction network on spatially registered PSP measurements at two Mach numbers, the authors adjust the surrogate’s predictions without retraining its core parameters, achieving improved agreement with experimental pressure distributions—especially at the wing suction peak and shock location. The grounded surrogate matches measurements within 2.3–2.7% of the Cp range on unseen angles of attack and outperforms simple interpolation between measured states.

The paper explores using residual learning with an LSTM neural network to enhance unsteady aerodynamic load predictions for aeroelastic applications. By training the network on the difference between high‑fidelity CFD lift data and a physics‑based Wagner model for the NLR 7301 airfoil in transonic flow, the residual approach consistently outperforms a direct neural‑network model in most tests, especially in generalization scenarios. The study demonstrates that residual learning can effectively augment classical low‑order aerodynamic theories by learning a lower‑variance correction to the baseline physics model.

ChannelFlow-Tools is an open‑source, configuration‑driven pipeline that generates machine‑learning‑ready datasets for three‑dimensional obstructed channel flows. It combines procedural obstacle geometry generation across six shape families, signed‑distance‑field voxelisation, lattice‑Boltzmann simulation, and packaging into ML‑ready tensors, all driven by reproducible configuration files. The pipeline is validated through mesh‑integrity audits, SDF representation checks, solver benchmarks, and data‑integrity audits, and it has been used to train surrogate models (3D U‑Net, FNO, U‑FNO) that learn geometry‑to‑flow mappings and exhibit physically interpretable behaviour on out‑of‑distribution splits.
