Abstract In practical engineering, the layout optimization technique driven by the thermal performance is faced with a severe computational burden when directly integrating the numerical analysis tool of temperature simulation into the optimization loop. To alleviate this difficulty, this paper presents a novel deep learning surrogate-assisted heat source layout optimization method. First, two sampling strategies, namely the random sampling strategy and the evolving sampling strategy, are proposed to produce diversified training data. Then, regarding mapping between the layout and the corresponding temperature field as an image-to-image regression task, the feature pyramid network (FPN), a kind of deep neural network, is trained to learn the inherent laws, which plays as a surrogate model to evaluate the thermal performance of the domain with respect to different input layouts accurately and efficiently. Finally, the neighborhood search-based layout optimization (NSLO) algorithm is proposed and combined with the FPN surrogate to solve discrete heat source layout optimization problems. A typical two-dimensional heat conduction optimization problem is investigated to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed deep learning surrogate-assisted layout optimization framework.

serious. The objective of thermal management is to reduce the maximum temperature and improve the uniformity of heat distribution of the domain, so as to provide a good thermal environment and keep the operation consistency of components (Chen et al. 2016a). One effective approach to improve the thermal performance through passive cooling is to optimize the positions of the heat-generating components as implemented in Chen et al. (2016a, b, 2017) and Aslan et al. (2018). It can be regarded as a kind of component layout optimization problem driven by the thermal performance of the concerned system and generally defined as heat source layout optimization that treats the heat-generating components as heat so
