摘要

En 中文
We present a parametric approach for heat exchanger shape optimization utilizing Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) and Boundary Representation (BREP). In this study, we show that continuous geometric representation of the fluid and solid domain facilitates the implementation of boundary conditions and design space exploration in contrast to traditional Topology Optimization such as density-based methods. The proposed framework consists of a Deep Neural Network (DNN), a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver with an automatic body-fitted mesh generation to solve a single fin shape optimization. The learning is performed using Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) in combination with a CFD environment in FEniCS. The RL agent successfully explores the design space and maximizes heat transfer and minimizes pressure drop for geometric design with as low as 12 degrees of freedom represented by composite Bezier curves. Higher degree of freedom results in higher reward of the agent. This method alleviates the curse of dimensionality compared to voxel and pixel-based optimization of coupled thermal fluid-structure. Results show the manufacturability and efficiency of the output of our framework. Over 30 percent improvement in overall heat transfer while lowering the pressure drop by more than 60 percent compared to the rectangle reference geometry is achieved.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
