Airfoil Design Parameterization and Optimization using Bézier Generative Adversarial Networks

Abstract: Global optimization of aerodynamic shapes usually requires a large number of expensive computational fluid dynamics simulations because of the high dimensionality of the design space. One approach to combat this problem is to reduce the design space dimension by obtaining a new representation. This requires a parametric function that compactly and sufficiently describes useful variation in shapes. We propose a deep generative model, Bézier-GAN, to parameterize aerodynamic designs by learning from shape variati… Show more

“…It provides the geometries of nearly 1,600 real-world airfoil designs. We preprocessed and augmented the dataset similar to [9], which led to a dataset of 38,802 airfoils, each of which is represented by 192 surface points (i.e., x i ∈ R 192×2 ). Figure 6(a) shows airfoil shapes randomly drawn from the training data.…”

“…We use a residual neural network (ResNet) [17] as the surrogate model to predict the performance indicators and a BézierGAN [9,18,19] to parameterize airfoils. Please refer to the appendix and the code for details on their network architectures.…”
