Systems and method for dynamic combustion tests

A method for dynamically updating a test plan of an apparatus, said method implemented using a testing system computer device, said testing system computer device including a processor in communication with a memory, said method comprising:

• generating, by the processor, a simulation model of the apparatus based in part on a plurality of historical data, wherein the simulation model includes a plurality of inputs and a plurality of outputs of the apparatus;
• determining, by the processor, a plurality of tests to perform on the apparatus based on the simulation model and the plurality of historical data;
• receiving, by the processor, a plurality of desirability ratings;
• ranking, by the processor, the plurality of tests to perform to generate a first ordered set of tests, wherein the first ordered set of tests is based on the plurality of desirability ratings;
• receiving sensor data from a first test of the apparatus;
• determining a first area of uncertainty based on the simulation model and the sensor data, wherein the first area of uncertainty exceeds a predetermined threshold;
• determining one or more additional tests which includes one or more inputs associated with the first area of uncertainty, wherein the one or additional tests includes a second test which includes a plurality of input values;
• ranking the plurality of tests to generate the second ordered set of tests which include the one or more additional tests;
• receiving sensor data from a second test of the apparatus;
• executing the simulation model using the plurality of input values to generate a plurality of expected outputs;
• comparing the received sensor data from the second test of the apparatus to the plurality of expected outputs;
• adjusting the simulation model based on the comparison such that the first area of uncertainty no longer exceeds the predetermined threshold;
• ranking the plurality of tests to generate a third ordered set of tests, wherein the one or more additional tests are ranked into lower positions than in the second ordered set of tests;
• and
• presenting the third ordered set of tests to a user.
