LGFNet: Local-Global Fusion Network with Fidelity Gap Delta Learning for Multi-Source Aerodynamics
About
The precise fusion of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) data, wind tunnel tests data, and flight tests data in aerodynamic area is essential for obtaining comprehensive knowledge of both localized flow structures and global aerodynamic trends across the entire flight envelope. However, existing methodologies often struggle to balance high-resolution local fidelity with wide-range global dependency, leading to either a loss of sharp discontinuities or an inability to capture long-range topological correlations. We propose Local-Global Fusion Network (LGFNet) for multi-scale feature decomposition to extract this dual-natured aerodynamic knowledge. To this end, LGFNet combines a spatial perception layer that integrates a sliding window mechanism with a relational reasoning layer based on self-attention, simultaneously reinforcing the continuity of fine-grained local features (e.g., shock waves) and capturing long-range flow information. Furthermore, the fidelity gap delta learning (FGDL) strategy is proposed to treat CFD data as a "low-frequency carrier" to explicitly approximate nonlinear discrepancies. This approach prevents unphysical smoothing while inheriting the foundational physical trends from the simulation baseline. Experiments demonstrate that LGFNet achieves state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in both accuracy and uncertainty reduction across diverse aerodynamic scenarios.
