Pressure Predictions of Turbine Blades with Deep Learning
share
Deep learning has been used in many areas, such as feature detections in images and the game of go. This paper presents a study that attempts to use the deep learning method to predict turbomachinery performance. Three different deep neural networks are built and trained to predict the pressure distributions of turbine airfoils. The performance of a library of turbine airfoils were firstly predicted using methods based on Euler equations, which were then used to train and validate the deep learning neural networks. The results show that network with four layers of convolutional neural network and two layers of fully connected neural network provides the best predictions. For the best neural network architecture, the pressure prediction on more than 99 locations are better than 3
