Abstract

Optimization is an integral part of engineering design that has a profound impact on the aerospace and industrial sectors by improving efficiency, reducing cost, and enhancing overall performance. Classical optimization methods are accurate but often suffer from high computational cost and inefficiency for complex, real-world problems. To alleviate these drawbacks, the current research presents a novel framework that blends advanced optimization methods with Deep Learning (DL) approaches. The suggested hybrid model incorporates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with attention mechanisms, in addition to Physics -Informed Neural Networks (PINNs), and evolutionary algorithms and gradient -based optimization methods. The synergistic integration of these approaches significantly improves predictive accuracy, computational efficiency, and generalization. The efficiency of the proposed model is supported by extensive validation using data obtained from Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and wind tunnel tests covering a wide range of aerodynamic conditions and complex geometries. The results show that the hybrid model can reduce computational costs by as much as 85% while either maintaining or enhancing the accuracy of traditional approaches. In addition, the model’s flexibility promotes consistent performance across a wide range of conditions, thus making it particularly suitable for real-time applications in aerospace and industrial environments. This work demonstrates the significant transformational po tential generated by the synergy between DL and optimization, providing a scalable and practical solution to complex design problems, thus enabling significant advancements in engineering design methodologies as a whole.
