Master thesis

Evaluation of Periodic Activation Functions and Fourier Features for Image-based Prediction of Aero-Solutions with Neural Networks (m/f/d)

The design of aircraft engine turbines and compressors is a long period optimization task which requires many iterations of time consuming CFD (Computational Flow Field) simulations until the resulting aero solutions reach the desired quality standards. In order to speed up those iterations and to reach a comparable high-fidelity aero solution the potential of periodic activation functions, random Fourier features and tailored network architectures will be evaluated for the Prediction of 2D-, 3D- and 4D(video)-Aero-solutions.
