用信息论方法分解非定常气流,捕捉随时间变化的因果模态结构。
Information-theoretic machine learning for time-varying mode decomposition of separated aerodynamic flows
- 基于信息理论与神经网络,从流场快照中提取对未来目标变量有影响力的成分。
- 在周期性脱落、风切变与湍流尾迹中均识别出与时变升力响应相关的涡结构。
- 无需先验气动知识,仅凭信息度量即定位关键涡核与近翼区重要结构。
本文针对分离气流开展信息论模式分解。当前基于神经网络的数据驱动方法(深正弦流模型)可从给定流场快照中提取对后续时间点目标变量具有信息量的成分,从而揭示时变模态结构中的因果关系。研究涵盖四种翼型分离流情形:1. 失速攻角下的层流周期性尾迹;2. 数值模拟的强风切变-翼相互作用;3. 实验测量的风切变-翼相互作用;4. 跨向周期域内的湍流尾迹。该方法成功识别出与时间变动态升力响应相关的信息性涡结构。对于周期性脱落情况,这些结构随时间演化,其波动程度对应于平均值的偏离。在风切变-翼相互作用案例中,风切变对机翼影响如何逐步体现在升力响应中的动态过程得以可解释地揭示。对于湍流尾迹案例,模型仅依据信息度量即突出显示翼面附近及涡核区域为关键信息成分,无需任何气动先验知识或尺度假设。本研究为一系列非定常气动问题提供了基于因果性的新洞察。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We perform an information-theoretic mode decomposition for separated aerodynamic flows. The current data-driven approach based on a neural network referred to as deep sigmoidal flow enables the extraction of an informative component from a given flow field snapshot with respect to a target variable at a future time stamp, thereby capturing the causality as a time-varying modal structure. We consider four examples of separated flows around a wing, namely, 1. laminar periodic wake at post-stall angles of attack, strong gust-wing interactions of 2. numerical and 3. experimental measurements, and 4. a turbulent wake in a spanwise-periodic domain. The present approach reveals informative vortical structures associated with a time-varying lift response. For the periodic shedding cases, the informative structures vary in time corresponding to the fluctuation level from their mean values. With the examples of gust-wing interactions, how the effect of gust on a wing emerges in the lift response over time is identified in an interpretable manner. Furthermore, for the case of turbulent wake, the present model highlights structures near the wing and vortex cores as informative components based solely on the information metric without any prior knowledge of aerodynamics and length scales. This study provides causality-based insights into a range of unsteady aerodynamic problems.
