Generative Design of Ship Propellers using Conditional Flow Matching

  • 基于条件流匹配建立设计与性能间的双向映射
  • 相同性能下可生成多款不同几何结构的螺旋桨
  • 适合需要快速探索设计空间的船舶工程场景

本文探索生成式人工智能(GenAI)在船用螺旋桨设计中的应用。传统机器学习模型根据给定设计参数预测性能,而GenAI模型则能生成满足特定性能目标的设计。我们采用条件流匹配方法,在设计参数与模拟噪声之间建立以性能标签为条件的双向映射,通过采样噪声向量可生成多个对应同一性能目标的有效设计。为支持模型训练,我们使用涡格法进行数值模拟生成数据,并分析了模型精度与数据量之间的权衡。此外,提出利用计算成本较低的前向代理模型生成伪标签进行数据增强,可有效提升整体模型性能。最后展示了多款几何结构迥异但性能几乎相同的螺旋桨实例,验证了生成式AI在工程设计中的灵活性与潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In this paper, we explore the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) for ship propeller design. While traditional forward machine learning models predict the performance of mechanical components based on given design parameters, GenAI models aim to generate designs that achieve specified performance targets. In particular, we employ conditional flow matching to establish a bidirectional mapping between design parameters and simulated noise that is conditioned on performance labels. This approach enables the generation of multiple valid designs corresponding to the same performance targets by sampling over the noise vector. To support model training, we generate data using a vortex lattice method for numerical simulation and analyze the trade-off between model accuracy and the amount of available data. We further propose data augmentation using pseudo-labels derived from less data-intensive forward surrogate models, which can often improve overall model performance. Finally, we present examples of distinct propeller geometries that exhibit nearly identical performance characteristics, illustrating the versatility and potential of GenAI in engineering design.
