Abstract:
To tackle the instability fault diagnosis challenges in wide-speed-range supersonic inlets, this study proposes an inlet fault decision fusion diagnosis algorithm based on attention mechanism feature fusion, achieving efficient diagnosis of instability faults across wide-speed regimes. First, considering the requirement for wall pressure data extraction in mathematical modeling of wide-speed-range inlets, a supersonic inlet reference model is established for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Second, leveraging data-driven modeling techniques and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms, a high-precision mathematical model covering wide-speed domains and incorporating instability mechanisms is rapidly developed using CFD-derived inlet wall pressure data. Subsequently, an inlet fault decision fusion diagnosis method is proposed. Pressure features are fused via attention mechanisms, followed by Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory-based decision fusion, which integrates advantages of multiple intelligent algorithms to overcome the limitations of single-signal diagnosis methods (low accuracy and constrained optimization potential). The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the data-driven wide-speed-range inlet model in achieving high precision and rapid convergence. In addition, the fusion diagnosis algorithm has been shown to attain over 95% accuracy in the detection of instability, indicating an improvement of more than 5% compared to the accuracy of other single fault diagnosis algorithms. This enhancement effectively eliminates the occurrence of missed or false diagnoses, while demonstrates robust performance under operational uncertainties.
