预测飞机气动性能(如升力、阻力和力矩系数)具有挑战性——计算模型存在偏差,而直接仿真成本过高。一种实用方法是用实验测量数据校准低精度计算结果。然而,这需要在控制输入和测量响应均含不确定性的稀疏数据下完成校准。本文基于高斯过程代理模型与经典的Kennedy-O'Hagan校准框架,提出一种贝叶斯潜在高斯过程方法。该方法利用大量廉价的低精度数据训练代理模型,并用稀疏测量数据进行校准。关键在于,该方法对输入不确定性进行积分,同时匹配输出不确定性的边际均值与方差。校准后,代理模型能高精度预测气动系数的不确定性,包括外推输入条件下的表现。验证结果显示,模型预测样本有94.2%-95.8%落在真实95%置信区间内,端点累积概率接近名义的0.025和0.975水平。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Predicting the aerodynamic performance (e.g. lift, drag, and moment coefficients) of an aircraft is challenging -- computational models are biased and direct simulations are prohibitive. A pragmatic way to overcome this limitation is by calibrating low-fidelity computational predictions with experimental measurements. This, however, requires calibrating against \emph{sparse} measurements contaminated with \emph{uncertainty} in both the control inputs and the measured aerodynamic response. We develop a methodology to address this problem based on Gaussian process surrogates and the classical Kennedy-O'Hagan calibration. A surrogate model learned on abundant-but-cheap low-fidelity data is calibrated with a sparse set of measurement data. Crucialy, we develop a Bayesian latent Gaussian process based approach that marginalizes the calibrated surrogate model over the input uncertainty, while also matching the marginal mean and variance of the measured output uncertainty. Once calibrated, our surrogate model predicts the uncertainty in aerodynamic coefficients with very high accuracy, including at extrapolative input settings. We validate our calibrated surrogate model predictions against measurement data with \emph{true} uncertainty intervals to demonstrate that the model places $94.2-95.8\%$ of its predictive samples inside the released $95\%$ truth intervals, with endpoint cumulative probabilities very close to the nominal 0.025 and 0.975 levels.
