Abstract
Convolutional Neural Networks exhibit remarkable capabilities in flow pattern recognition, pressure drop prediction, leak detection, and system optimization through their ability to process complex spatial and temporal data patterns. The study examines CNN architectures specifically adapted for fluid dynamics applications, including data preprocessing techniques, feature extraction methods, and performance optimization strategies. Key applications include real-time flow monitoring, predictive maintenance, design parameter optimization, and anomaly detection in pipe networks. Comparative analysis reveals that CNN-based approaches achieve 85-95% accuracy in flow prediction tasks and reduce computational time by up to 70% compared to traditional computational fluid dynamics methods. The integration of CNNs with physics-informed models shows promising results in maintaining physical consistency while achieving superior performance in complex pipe flow scenarios.
