An unsteady aerodynamic surrogate model based on the deep LSTM (long short-term memory) network is proposed for predicting unsteady aerodynamic coefficients. Deflection angles and deflection velocities of control surfaces are introduced to input values of the surrogate model to enhance the capability of identifying different motion states so that accumulative error can be controlled. Longitudinal stability is extremely important for flight safety while few studies have worked on unsteady aerodynamics of airfoils/wings with moving high-lift device (HLD) motion. Longitudinal static margin sequence of the HLD extending process is studied, and nonlinearity and hysteresis of coefficients in HLD motion are validated. The surrogate model is then applied in HLD motion control with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method. Additionally, the results are then performed in three-dimensional aircraft HLD control. Validation computations show that longitudinal stability of optimized configuration is promoted with lift coefficient unchanged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
