Multi-fidelity data-driven design and analysis of reactor and tube simulations
Computers & Chemical Engineering(2023)
摘要
Optimizing complex reactor geometries is vital to promote enhanced efficiency. We present a framework to solve this nonlinear, computationally expensive, and derivative-free problem. Gaussian processes are used to learn a multi-fidelity model of reactor simulations correlating multiple continuous mesh fidelities. The search space of reactor geometries is explored through lower fidelity simulations, evaluated based on a weighted acquisition function, trading off information gain with cost. Within our framework, DARTS, we derive a novel criteria for dictating optimization termination, ensuring a high fidelity solution is returned before budget is exhausted. We investigate the design of helical-tube reactors under pulsed-flow conditions, which have demonstrated outstanding mixing characteristics. To validate our results, we 3D print and experimentally validate the optimal reactor geometry, confirming mixing performance. Our approach is applicable to a broad variety of expensive simulation-based optimization problems, enabling the design of novel parameterized chemical reactors.
