| contents | Reconstruction and fast prediction of flow fields are important for the improvement of data center operations and energy savings. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) and variational autoencoder (VAE) composite model is proposed for the reconstruction and prediction of 3D flowfields with high accuracy and efficiency. The VAE model is trained to extract features of the problem and to realize 3D physical field reconstruction. The ANN is employed to achieve the constructability of the extracted features. A dataset of steady temperature/velocity fields is acquired by computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer (CFD/HT) and fed to train the deep learning model. The proposed ANN-VAE model is experimentally proven to achieve promising field prediction accuracy with a significantly reduced computational cost. Compared to the CFD/HT method, the ANN-VAE method speeds up the physical field prediction by approximately 380,000 times, with mean accuracies of 97.3% for temperature field prediction and 97.9% for velocity field prediction, making it feasible for real-time physical field acquisition. |
