Optimization of prototype and machine design using fluid modeling
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11947882B2) outlines a system designed to generate three-dimensional models of mechanical devices using stored data elements for both mechanical and electrical components. The system employs machine learning processes to predict characteristics of the mechanical device, such as fluid behavior, thermal properties, and combustion dynamics. It then generates physics modeling data based on these characteristics, representing fluid dynamics, thermal dynamics, and combustion dynamics. The system presents a visual representation of the mechanical device through a graphical user interface, showcasing the three-dimensional model along with visual representations of the fluid dynamics, thermal dynamics, and combustion dynamics.
Furthermore, the system includes features for probabilistic simulation environments associated with optimizing the three-dimensional model. It allows for modifications to the physics modeling data based on a second machine learning process, offering a set of components from the stored data elements library based on physical or thermal characteristics. The system can modify the three-dimensional model based on selected components and perform additional machine learning processes using techniques like Latin hypercube sampling or Monte Carlo sampling. Overall, this patented system provides a comprehensive approach to generating, analyzing, and visualizing complex mechanical devices, particularly suited for applications like aviation systems, with a focus on fluid dynamics, thermal properties, and combustion characteristics.
