精确建模行星降落伞与着陆器系统的动力学对于进入、下降和着陆过程至关重要,如分离动作与传感器激活。传统系统辨识方法难以应对降落伞运动的高度非线性、未知控制方程及稀缺昂贵的试验数据。本文提出一种物理感知生成建模方法,直接从数据中学习降落伞动力学。所提方法SPar-GAN通过条件化伞体设计与来流速度,将哈密顿生成架构适配至降落伞场景,并利用辛积分强制能量守恒。该方法应用于国家全尺寸空气动力学中心的缩比降落伞试验,成功复现不同配置下的定性俯仰-偏航动力学,同时恢复了与伞体轴对称性一致的紧凑二维相空间。结果表明,物理约束生成模型可跨工况表征降落伞动力学,有望减少评估性能所需的物理试验量。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurately modeling the dynamics of planetary parachute and entry vehicle systems is critical for Entry, Descent, and Landing events such as vehicle separation and sensor activation. These dynamics are difficult to capture with traditional system-identification methods as parachute motion is highly nonlinear, the governing equations are not fully known, and relevant test data are scarce and expensive to acquire. In this work, we sidestep these challenges by leveraging a physics-aware generative modeling approach that learns parachute dynamics directly from data. The proposed method, Symplectic Parachute Generative Adversarial Network (SPar-GAN), adapts a Hamiltonian generative architecture to the parachute setting by conditioning on canopy design and freestream velocity, while enforcing conservation of energy through symplectic integration. We apply SPar-GAN to subscale parachute tests conducted at the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex and show that it reproduces qualitatively accurate pitch-yaw dynamics of different parachute configurations while recovering a compact two-degree-of-freedom phase-space consistent with canopy axisymmetry. These results suggest that physics-constrained generative models can characterize parachute dynamics across operating conditions and may help reduce the volume of physical testing required to assess performance.
