  • 基于表面级神经网络,输入几何距离场,实时估算各表面受力。
  • 纵向力误差13%、垂向力误差3-12%,单次推理<0.9毫秒。
  • 无需显式编码物理规律,仍能自动复现速度平方律和浮力线性关系。

在浅水或易涝地形中运行的自动驾驶地面车辆需要考虑流体动力学力的动态模型。然而现有仿真与规划工具要么缺乏物理保真度,要么计算成本过高无法实时运行。本文提出一种面向表面的神经网络代理模型,通过训练两个几何不同的车辆的高保真CFD数据,实现几何分辨的流体动力学力实时预测。车辆特定的符号距离场(SDF)提供各表面淹没程度输入,使模型能解析载荷随车辆形状、深度和流速方向的变化。在保留的CFD数据上,该代理模型纵向力对称平均绝对百分比误差(sMAPE)为13%,垂向力sMAPE为3-12%,每次推理时间低于0.9毫秒。为验证实际效果,使用全尺寸车辆在不同淹没深度下的涉水试验进行评估,运动捕捉获取的运动学作为输入,预测结果用于检验已知物理关系:预测阻力符合二次速度标度(R² ≥ 0.97),浮力截距与深度呈线性关系(R² = 0.973)。这些关系未被编码进训练损失,而是由表面级架构累加各表面受力自然涌现。该框架为将物理驱动的流体动力学嵌入自动驾驶车辆在两栖环境中的仿真与规划循环提供了可行路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Autonomous ground vehicles operating in shallow water or flood-prone terrains require dynamic models that account for hydrodynamic forces. However, the simulation and planning tools currently available either lack the physical fidelity or are too computationally expensive to run in real time. This work presents a per-surface neural network surrogate that bridges this gap by predicting geometry-resolved hydrodynamic forces at real-time rates, trained entirely on high-fidelity CFD data from two geometrically distinct vehicles. A vehicle specific Signed Distance Field (SDF) provides per-surface submergence inputs, allowing the model to resolve how loading varies with vehicle geometry, depth, and flow direction. On held-out CFD data, the surrogate achieves a longitudinal-force symmetric MAPE (sMAPE) of 13\% and a vertical-force sMAPE of 3-12\%, with inference running under 0.9\,ms per sample. To evaluate the model under real-world conditions, water wading trials of a full-scale vehicle at different submersion depths are used. Motion capture derived kinematics serve as the surrogate inputs, and the resulting predictions are tested to reproduce known physical relationships between force, speed, and depth. The predicted drag follows quadratic speed scaling ($R^2 \geq 0.97$) and the buoyancy intercepts scale linearly with depth ($R^2 = 0.973$). Neither relationship is encoded in the model training loss, both emerge from the per-surface architecture summing individually predicted surface forces. The resulting framework provides a pathway for embedding physically grounded hydrodynamics into the simulation and planning loops that autonomous ground vehicles depend on in amphibious environments.
