In view of the long calculation cycle, high processing test and cost of the traditional aero-engine combustion chamber design process, which restricts the engine optimization design cycle, this paper innovatively proposes a surrogate model for the performance of aero-engine combustion chamber based on the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging method. Through experiments, the predicted results of the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging model are compared and analyzed with the calculated results of the one-dimensional program, and the root mean square error of the predicted values of combustion efficiency and total pressure loss are 0.0064% and 0.1995%, respectively. The accuracy of the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging model is compared with the cubic polynomials model, the basic Kriging model and the Hierarchical-Kriging model. It verifies the feasibility and accuracy of the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging model for the prediction of performance of aero-engine combustion chambers. The global sensitivity analysis method is applied to obtain the influence effect of the design variables on the performance. Then, a multi-objective optimization method based on NSGA-II algorithm is studied, and finally the optimal set of Pareto solutions is obtained and analyzed, which can be used to guide the optimal design of aero-engine combustion chamber and accelerate the progress of aero-engine development.

In view of the long calculation cycle, high processing test and cost of the traditional aero-engine combustion chamber design process, which restricts the engine optimization design cycle, this paper innovatively proposes a surrogate model for the performance of aero-engine combustion chambers based on the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging method. Through experiments, the predicted results of the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging model are compared and analyzed with the calculated results of the one-dimensional program, and the root mean square error of the predicted values of combustion efficiency and total pressure loss is 0.0064% and 0.1995%, respectively. The accuracy of the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging model is compared with the cubic polynomial model, the basic Kriging model and the Hierarchical-Kriging model. It verifies the feasibility and accuracy of the POD-Hierarchical-Kriging model for the prediction of performance of aero-engine combustion chambers. The global sensitivity analysis method is applied to obtain the influence effect of design variables on the performance. Then, a multi-objective optimization method based on the NSGA-II algorithm is studied, and finally the optimal set of Pareto solutions is obtained and analyzed, which can be used to guide the optimal design of aero-engine combustion chambers and accelerate the progress of aero-engine development.
