The use of genetic algorithm and self-updating artificial neural network for the inverse design of cabin environment

Abstract

The inverse process of computational fluid dynamics was used to explore the expected indoor environment with the preset objectives. An inverse design method integrating genetic algorithm and selfupdating artificial neural network is presented. To reduce the computational cost and eliminate the impact of prediction error of artificial neural network, a self-updating artificial neural network is proposed to realize the self-adaption of computational fluid dynamics database, where all the design objectives of solutions are obtained by computational fluid dynamics instead of artificial neural network. The proposed method was applied to the inverse design of an MD-82 aircraft cabin. The result shows that the performance of artificial neural network is improved with the increase of computational fluid dynamics database. When the number of computational fluid dynamics cases is more than 80, the success rate of artificial neural network increases to more than 40%. Comparing to genetic algorithm and computational fluid dynamics, the proposed hybrid method reduces about 53% of the computational cost. The pseudo solutions are avoided when the self-updating artificial neural network is adopted. In addition, the number of computational fluid dynamics cases is determined automatically, and the requirement of human adjustment is avoided.

Impact of Teaching a Neuro-Computerized Course Through VLE to Develop Computational Thinking Among Mathematics Pre-service Teachers

“…This type of learning occurred by forming the training category with input and without automatic presentation of the objective through the network. Learning styles are built on the ability of the ANN to discover the distinguished features of shapes and layouts presented and the ability to develop an internal representation of such shapes without previous knowledge or examples (Zhang & You, 2017).…”

Fast prediction for indoor environment: Models assessment

“…Machine learning to accelerate the computing speed of available fast models, such as support vector machine, 23 genetic algorithm 24 and neural network have been used. 25 A series of simulation cases should be conducted before training to implement different machine learning methods. 26,27 LLVM-based artificial neural network (ANN) model has been applied to simulate dispersion of indoor pollutants with different air pollutant sources.…”

Simulation and Experimental Study of the Characteristic Parameters of an Aircraft Cabin Temperature Control Valve

“…A CE525CJ1 cabin heating control system uses engine bleed air to provide hot gas for the cabin and then cools down the cabin twice through a pre-cooler and a heat exchanger to adjust the cabin temperature. In recent years, research on cabin temperature control strategy mainly has included fuzzy control [4], expert-PID decoupling control [5], and a neural network algorithm [6]. Yonggui Zheng et al [7] used table-based LPID (Lookup PID) controllers to control the temperature and pressure Appl.…”
