A panoramic aerodynamic performance prediction method for turbomachinery cascades using transformer-enhanced neural operator

The paper introduces a panoramic aerodynamic performance prediction framework for turbomachinery cascades that first predicts basic Navier-Stokes parameters (temperature, pressure, density) and then derives key turbine stage performance metrics. A transformer‑enhanced neural operator (TNO) is trained on Rotor 37 blades to accurately predict transonic compressor blade performance, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art deep learning operators like FNO and DeepONet. The TNO also supports downstream tasks such as sensitivity analysis and optimization, achieving CFD‑like results while cutting computational cost by four orders of magnitude.

A Residual Learning Approach for Unsteady Aerodynamic Load Prediction

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.

A Residual Learning Approach for Unsteady Aerodynamic Load Prediction

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, the residual approach outperforms a direct neural‑network model in most cases, especially in generalization tests. The study demonstrates that aligning residual inputs with the baseline physics variables yields lower error and more consistent performance across varied motion scenarios.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) for aerodynamic prediction: a comparison with MLPs and GNNs

arXiv:2606. 27126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs).
