contents This study explores the possibilities of automating the loading, classification and assessment of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) mesh data by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The research aim is finding a feasible way to quickly make classification and assessment on airfoil mesh data. For this purpose, this study designed a new framework named CFD-based airfoil Classification and Assessment Network (AirCANS) for CFD mesh data which including the data loader and improved the CNN structure to achieve our target. In our research, we found that CNNs are fully adaptable as well as understandable to CFD airfoil mesh data structures, which suggests that our hypothesis is successful and that neural networks can be used to have a greater positive impact on the CFD industry, such as it can be used to refine the mesh and accelerate the solution. This could allow CFD to spend much less time.
