Jaiman"],"abstract":"This article presents a reduced-order modeling methodology via deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for shape optimization applications. The CNN provides a nonlinear mapping between the shapes and their associated attributes while conserving the equivariance of these attributes to the shape translations. To implicitly represent complex shapes via a CNN-applicable Cartesian structured grid, a level-set method is employed. The CNN-based reduced-order model (ROM) is constructed in a completely data-driven manner thus well suited for non-intrusive applications. We demonstrate our ROM-based shape optimization framework on a gradient-based three-dimensional shape optimization problem to minimize the induced drag of a wing in low-fidelity potential flow. We show a good agreement between ROM-based optimal aerodynamic coefficients and their counterparts obtained via a potential flow solver. The predicted behavior of the optimized shape is consistent with theoretical predictions. We also present the learning mechanism of the deep CNN model in a physically interpretable manner. The CNN-ROM-based shape optimization algorithm exhibits significant computational efficiency compared to the full-order model-based online optimization applications. The proposed algorithm promises to develop a tractable DL-ROM-driven framework for shape optimization and adaptive morphing structures.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.06210v3","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.06210v3.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-convolutional-neural-network-for-shape","repo_url":"https://github.com/wrik/cnn-optimization","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"computational-efficiency","task_name":"Computational Efficiency"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
