Abstract In the surrogate model-based optimization of turbine airfoils, often only the prediction values for objective and constraints are employed, without considering uncertainties in the prediction. This is also the case for multi-fidelity optimization strategies based on e.g. the Gappy-POD approach, in which results from analyses of different fidelities are incorporated. However, the consideration of uncertainties in global optimization has the advantage that a balanced coverage of the design space between unexplored regions and regions close to the current optimum takes place. This means that on the one hand regions are covered in which so far only a few sample points are present and thus a high degree of uncertainty exists (global exploration), and on the other hand regions with promising objective and constraint values are investigated (local exploitation). The genuine new contribution in this work is the quantification of the uncertainty of the multi-fidelity Gappy-POD method and an adapted optimization strategy based on it. The uncertainty quantification is based on the error of linear fitting of low-fidelity values to the POD basis and subsequent forward propagation to the high-fidelity values. The uncertainty quantification is validated for random airfoil designs in a design of experiment. Based on this, a global optimization strategy for constrained problems is presented, which is based on the well-known Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) strategy and the Feasible Expected Improvement criterion. This means that Kriging models are created for both the objective and the constraint values depending on the design variables that consider both the predictions and the uncertainties. This approach offers the advantage that existing and widely used programs or libraries can be used for multi-fidelity optimization that support the (single-fidelity) EGO algorithm. Finally, the method is demonstrated for an industrial test case. A comparison between a single-fidelity optimization and a multi-fidelity optimization is made, each with the EGO strategy. A coupling of 2D/3D simulations is used for multi-fidelity analyses. The proposed method achieves faster feasible members in the optimization, resulting in faster turn-around compared to the single-fidelity strategy.

Real-time estimation of three-dimensional field data for enclosed spaces is critical to HVAC control. This task is challenging, especially for large enclosed spaces with complex geometry, due to the nonuniform distribution and nonlinear variations of many environmental variables. Moreover, constructing and maintaining a network of sensors to fully cover the entire space is very costly, and insufficient sensor data might deteriorate system performance. Facing such a dilemma, gappy proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) offers a solution to provide three-dimensional field data with a limited number of sensor measurements. In this study, a gappy POD method for real-time reconstruction of contaminant distribution in an enclosed space is proposed by combining the POD method with a limited number of sensor measurements. To evaluate the gappy POD method, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is utilized to perform a numerical simulation to validate the effectiveness of the gappy POD method in reconstructing contaminant distributions. In addition, the optimal sensor placement is given based on a quantitative metric to maximize the reconstruction accuracy, and the sensor placement constraints are also considered during the sensor design process. The gappy POD method is found to yield accurate reconstruction results. Further works will include the implementation of real-time control based on the POD method.

The simulation of complex engineering structures built from magneto-rheological elastomers is a computationally challenging task. Using the FE 2 method, which is based on computational homogenisation, leads to the repetitive solution of micro-scale FE problems, causing excessive computational effort. In this paper, the micro-scale FE problems are replaced by POD reduced models of comparable accuracy. As these models do not deliver the required reductions in computational effort, they are combined with hyper-reduction methods like the Discrete Empirical Interpolation Method (DEIM), Gappy POD, Gauss–Newton Approximated Tensors (GNAT), Empirical Cubature (EC) and Reduced Integration Domain (RID). The goal of this work is the comparison of the aforementioned hyper-reduction techniques focusing on accuracy and robustness. For the application in the FE 2 framework, EC and RID are favourable due to their robustness, whereas Gappy POD rendered both the most accurate and efficient reduced models. The well-known DEIM is discarded for this application as it suffers from serious robustness deficiencies.
