For the study of thermophysical properties of kerosene for the liquid rocket and aviation fuels, the surrogate models are investigated. The density distributions based on the real gas equations of state(Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson equation of state) and NIST SUPERTRAPP(extended corresponding state principle) are compared with the previous experimental results at supercritical conditions. The error range of thermophysical properties analyzed for the surrogate models as well. Peng-Robinson equation of state and extended corresponding state principle are especially accurate for the hydrocarbon fuels but the appropriate surrogate models need to be chosen to the operation conditions such as pressure and temperature.

Injection characteristics of a kerosene swirl injector of liquid rocket engine operating at supercritical environment have been investigated. Kerosene surrogate models are proposed to model the kerosene properties. Turbulent numerical model is based on large eddy simulation and contains Soave modification of Redlich-Kwong equation of state and Chung's model. Numerical analysis results at supercritical environment are compared with the one at transcritical condition. Differences of density and viscosity are analyzed at both liquid film and core gas in the swirl injector.

This paper introduces an optimized design for a sensor bracket used to measure the wear amount of an automobile brake pad, based on a dynamic kriging surrogate model. During testing, the temperature of the brake pad can increase beyond 600℃, which often causes sensor malfunction. Therefore, it is essential to optimize the shape of the sensor bracket to minimize heat transfer. To reduce the computational cost of the optimization, the heat-transfer simulation is replaced by a dynamic kriging surrogate model. Dynamic kriging utilizes the best combination of correlation and basis functions and constructs an accurate surrogate model. Following optimization, the temperature of the sensor position decreases by 7.57%. The results from the surrogate model under optimum conditions are verified by a heat-transfer simulation, and the design optimization using a surrogate model is found to be effective.

Shape optimization of a Printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) has been performed by using three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (3-D RANS) analysis and surrogate modeling techniques. The objective function is defined as a linear combination of effectiveness of the PCHE term and pressure drop in the cold channels of the PCHE. The cold channel angle and the ellipse aspect ratio of the cold channel are used as design variables for the optimization. Design points are selected through Latin-hypercube sampling. The optimal point is determined through surrogate-based optimization method which uses 3-D RANS analyses at design points. The results of three types of surrogate model are compared each other. The results of the optimizations indicate improved performance in friction loss but low performance in effectiveness than the reference shape.

This study is about the prediction of ship's roll motion characteristic which has been used for evaluating ship's seakeeping performance. In order to obtain the ship's roll RAO during voyage, this paper utilized machine learning-based surrogate model. By comparing the prediction result data of surrogate model with test data, we suggest the best approximation technique and data sampling interval of the surrogate model appropriate for predicting the ships' roll motion characteristic.

This paper presents a three dimensional shape optimization procedure for a low-speed axial flow fan blade with a weighted average surrogate model. Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with shear stress transport turbulence model are discretized by finite volume approximations. Six variables from airfoil profile and lean are selected as design variables. 3D RANS solver is used to evaluate the objective functions of total pressure efficiency. Surrogate approximation models for optimization have been employed to find the optimal design of fan blade. A search algorithm is used to find the optimal design in the design space from the constructed surrogate models for the objective function. The total pressure efficiency is increased by 0.31% with the weighted average surrogate model.

The paper deals with comparative study of characteristics of surrogate models and sensitivity evaluation using design of experiments in order to enhance and analysis the structure design of an automatic salt collector under various design load conditions. Orthogonal array design based on numerical analysis was used for the design of experiments. The thickness sizing variables of main structure member were considered the design factors, and the output responses were selected from the strength performances as well as the weight. The quantitative effects on responses for each design factor were evaluated from the orthogonal array experiment. Optimum design case was also identified to improve the strength performances with weight minimization. Using the orthogonal array experiment. various surrogate models such as response surface model, Kriging model, and Chebyshev orthogonal polynomial were generated. The orthogonal array experiment results were validated by the surrogate modeling results. The most suitable surrogate model was the response surface model for the exploration of design space of the automatic salt collector.

기후변화는 물 관리의 가장 큰 리스크 요인이므로 물 관리 계획을 수립하는 과정에서 기후변화의 영향을 고려하는 것이 필수적이다. 기후변화에 대한 수자원 예측 관련 연구가 이루어지고 있으나, 대부분의 연구에는 수문학적 모델링이나 시뮬레이션이 동반되는데, 이 과정에는 시간과 비용이 많이 들어가며, 지역이나 연구목적에 따른 정밀한 매개변수의 보정은 전문지식이 필요하기 때문에 현업에서 연구결과를 의사결정에 활용하기에는 한계가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 이에 따라 수문학적 모델링의 입력 및 출력 결과를 딥러닝의 학습자료로 하여 수문모델을 사용하지 않아도 효율적으로 결과를 도출할 수 있는 딥러닝 기반 Surrogate 모형에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 수자원 분야에 접목된 사례는 부재한 실정이다. 따라서 이 연구를 통해 국내 유역을 대상으로 Surrogate 모형을 구축한 뒤, 그 성능을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위한 Surrogate 모형 구축 과정은 다음과 같다. 충주댐 유역을 대상으로 과거 20년간의 강우 및 기온 자료를 수집한 뒤, 이 자료를 바탕으로 기후변화의 영향을 고려한 3,162개의 시나리오를 생성한다. 그 후 장기유출모형 IHACRES에 생성된 시나리오를 입력자료로 하여 유입량 결과를 도출하고, 이 결과를 Python코드 기반의 딥러닝 학습자료로 하여 최적 예측 결과를 도출해내는 Surrogate 모형을 생성한 뒤 기존 장기유출모형과의 성능을 비교하고자 한다. 이와 같은 Surrogate 모형은 추가적인 데이터와 매개변수의 보정 과정이 없어도 장기유출모형과 같은 결과를 짧은 시간내에 상당히 정확하게 모사할 수 있어 시간과 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 비전문가도 쉽게 사용할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다.

In the present study, three-dimensional aerodynamic optimization of high pressure turbine nozzle for turbofan engine was performed. For this, Kriging surrogate model was built and refined iteratively by supplying additional experimental points until the surrogate model and CFX result has effective difference on objective function. When the surrogate model satisfied this reliability condition and developed enough, optimum point was investigated. Commercial program PIAnO was used for optimization process and evolutionary algorithm was used for searching optimum point. As a result, difference between estimated value from Kriging surrogate model and CFD result converges within 0.01% and the optimized nozzle shape has 0.83% improved aerodynamic efficiency.

In order to efficiently optimize the problem involving complex computer codes or computationally expensive simulation, surrogate models are widely used. Because their accuracy significantly depends on sample points, many experimental designs have been proposed. One approach is the sequential design of experiments that consider existing information of responses. In earlier research, the correlation coefficients of the kriging surrogate model are introduced as weight parameters to define the scaled distance between sample points. However, if existing information is incorrect or lacking, new sample points can be misleading. Thus, our goal in this paper is to propose a weight function derived from correlation coefficients to generate new points robustly. To verify the performance of the proposed method, several existing sequential design methods are compared for use as mathematical examples.
