#Define airfoil plus
Totally 16 input variables, two flow conditions of Mach number (0.3 to 0.6) and the angle of attack (2 degrees to 6 degrees) plus 14 shape coefficients. It includes a total of 14 airfoil modes (seven for camber and seven for thickness). Then applying singular value decomposition (SVD) to reduce the number of variables that define the airfoil geometry.

Using inverse distance weighting (IDW) to interpolate the surface function of each airfoil. Therefore, in this tutorial, we reproduce the paper 2 using the Gradient-Enhanced Neural Networks (GENN) from SMT.īriefly explaining how mSANN generates the mode shapes of a given airfoil: Moreover, in mSANN a deep neural network is used to predict the Cd parameter of a given parametrizedĪirfoil. Bouhlels mSANN uses the information contained in the paper 1 to determine

Other terms are available in the same repository. However, the other databases for the prediction of the In this test case, we will be predicting only the Cd coefficient. Inputs: Airfoil Camber and Thickness mode shapes, Mach, alpha The input parameters uses the airfoil Camber and Thickness mode shapes. These calculations can be really useful in case of an airfoil shape optimization. The obtained surrogate model can be used to give predictions for certain Mach numbers, angles of attack and the aerodynamic coefficients. This is a tutorial to determine the aerodynamic coefficients of a given airfoil using GENN in SMT (other models could be used as well).
