Optimal mesh generation for a blade passage using deep reinforcement learning
share
A mesh generation method that can generate an optimal mesh for a blade passage at a single attempt is developed using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Unlike the conventional methods, where meshing parameters must be specified by the user or iteratively optimized from scratch for a newly given geometry, the developed method employs DRL-based multi-condition (MC) optimization to define meshing parameters for various geometries optimally. The method involves the following steps: (1) development of a base algorithm for structured mesh generation of a blade passage; (2) formulation of an MC optimization problem to optimize meshing parameters introduced while developing the base algorithm; and (3) development of a DRL-based mesh generation algorithm by solving the MC optimization problem using DRL. As a result, the developed algorithm is able to successfully generate optimal meshes at a single trial for various blades.
