Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying deep learning techniques to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), particularly for accelerating simulations and enhancing data resolution. This work explores the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to reconstruct high-resolution CFD fields from low-resolution inputs. A U-Net architecture was selected due to its proven ability to capture both global context and fine-scale features. The study focuses on two CFD problems: a bump-in-a-duct configuration and a hydrogen combustion chamber. These cases were chosen to encompass both non-reactive and reactive flow regimes and to test the generalization capability of the model under different physical conditions.
The network was trained to predict high-resolution pressure, axial velocity, and heat of reaction fields from their corresponding low-resolution versions, thus performing a super-resolution task
