Abstract: For industrial design and the improvement of fluid flow simulations, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solvers offer practical functions and conveniences. However, because iterative simulations demand lengthy computation times and a considerable amount of memory for sophisticated calculations, CFD solvers are not economically viable. Such limitations are overcome by CFD data-driven learning models based on neural networks, which lower the trade-off between accurate simulation performance and model complexity. Deep neural networks (DNNs) or convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are good illustrations of deep learning-based CFD models for fluid flow modeling. However, improving the accuracy of fluid flow reconstruction or estimation in these earlier methods is crucial. Based on interpolated feature data generation and a deep U-Net learning model, this work suggests a rapid laminar flow prediction model for inference of Naiver–Stokes solutions. The simulated dataset consists of 2D obstacles in various positions and orientations, including cylinders, triangles, rectangles, and pentagons. The accuracy of estimating velocities and pressure fields with minimal relative errors can be improved using this cutting-edge technique in training and testing procedures. Tasks involving CFD design and optimization should benefit from the experimental findings.
