Abstract
Performing measurements in reacting flows is a challenging task due to the complexity of measuring all quantities of interest simultaneously or limitations in the optical access. To compensate for this, recent advances in deep learning have shown a strong potential in augmenting the information content in datasets composed of partial measurements by reconstructing the quantities that could not be measured. The present work analyses the use of such deep learning tools in two different cases. First, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are used to reconstruct the heat release rate (HRR) from velocity measurements in a methane/air premixed flame under harmonic excitation. The CNNs are trained from complete datasets at some specific frequencies and amplitudes of excitation and their ablility to reconstruct the HRR for different operating conditions with good accuracy is demonstrated. Secondly, an alternate approach based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks that do not require the training data to have all the quantities is explored. It is applied to a puffing pool fire where the velocity field is reconstructed from observations of pressure, temperature and density with good accuracy.
