【 摘 要 】

In this article the procedure and method for the ice accretion prediction for different airfoils using artificial neural networks (ANNs) are discussed. A dataset for the neural network is based on the numerical experiment results—obtained through iceFoam solver—with four airfoils (NACA0012, General Aviation, Business Jet, and Commercial Transport). Input data for neural networks include airfoil and ice geometries, transformed into a set of parameters using a parabolic coordinate system and Fourier series expansion. Besides input features include physical parameters of flow (velocity, temperature, droplets diameter, liquid water content, time of ice accretion) and angle of attack. The novelty of this work is in that the neural network dataset includes various airfoils and the data augmentation technique being a combination of all time slices. Several artificial neural networks (ANNs), fully connected networks (FCNNs), and convolutional networks (CNNs) were trained to predict airfoil ice shapes. Two different loss functions were considered. In order to improve performance of models, batch normalization and dropout layers were used. The most accurate results of ice shape prediction were obtained using CNN and FCNN that applied batch normalization and dropout layers to output neurons of each layer.
