Graph Neural Networks for Airfoil Performance Prediction

Low riskExact public inventory row

Description

We are investigating the use of Graph Convolutional Neural Networks to learn relationship between airfoil coordinates and predict the performance for aerodynamics analysis. Inputs include the shape of the airfoil and outputs are the coefficient of lift, drag, and moment.

Detailed example

Predictions of blade loss

AI / analytics pattern

Classical/Predictive Machine Learning: Models trained on data to make predictions or classifications based on identified patterns or relationships.

Automation level / stage

a) Pre-deployment – The use case is in a development or acquisition status.

Expected benefit

The impact is we have a new type of neural network architecture that we can potentially use for other projects.
