Computational Fluid Dynamics Expert System using Artificial Neural Networks

The design of a modern aircraft is based on three pillars: theoretical results, experimental test and computational simulations. As a results of this, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) solvers are widely used in the aeronautical field. These solvers require the correct selection of many parameters in order to obtain successful results. Besides, the computational time spent in the simulation depends on the proper choice of these parameters. In this paper we create an expert system capable of making an accurate prediction of the number of iterations and time required for the convergence of a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) solver. Artificial neural network (ANN) has been used to design the expert system. It is shown that the developed expert system is capable of making an accurate prediction the number of iterations and time required for the convergence of a CFD solver.

Suitability of artificial neural networks for designing LoC circuits

he simulation of complex LoC (Lab-on-a-Chip) devices is a process that requires solving computationally expensive partial differential equations. An interesting alternative uses artificial neural networks for creating computationally feasible models based on MOR techniques. This paper proposes an approach that uses artificial neural networks for designing LoC components considering the artificial neural network topology as an isomorphism of the LoC device topology. The parameters of the trained neural networks are based on equations for modeling microfluidic circuits, analogous to electronic circuits. The neural networks have been trained to behave like AND, OR, Inverter gates. The parameters of the trained neural networks represent the features of LoC devices that behave as the aforementioned gates. This would mean that LoC devices universally compute.

Pollutant concentrations and Meteorological data classification by Neural Networks

This paper present an environmental contingency forecasting tool based on Neural Networks (NN). Forecasting tool analyzes every hour and daily Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) concentrations and Meteorological data time series. Pollutant concentrations and meteorological variables are self-organized applying a Self-organizing Map (SOM) NN in different classes. Classes are used in training phase of a General Regression Neural Network (GRNN) classifier to provide an air quality forecast. In this case a time series set obtained from Environmental Monitoring Network (EMN) of the city of Salamanca, Guanajuato, México is used. Results verify the potential of this method versus other statistical classification methods and also variables correlation is solved.

Use of Feynman diagrams in large-scale neural networks with nonlinear behaviour

A new proposal to the study of large-scale neural networks is reported. It is based on the use of similar graphs to the Feynman diagrams. A first general theory is presented and some interpretations are given. A propagator, based on the Green's function of the neuron, is the basis of the method. Application to a simple case is reported.
