This paper presents a method for calculating the heat flux at the surface of a body from experimentally measured transient temperature data, which has been called the inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). The analysis allows for two-dimensional heat flow in an arbitrarily shaped body and orthotropic temperature dependent thermal properties. A combined function specification and regularization method is used to solve the IHCP with a sequential-in-time concept used to improve the computational efficiency. To enhance the accuracy, the future information used in the sequential-in-time method and the regularization parameter are variable during the analysis. An example using numerically simulated data is presented to demonstrate the application of the method. Finally, a case using actual experimental data is presented. For this case, the boundary condition was experimentally measured and hence, it was known. A good comparison is demonstrated between the known and estimated boundary conditions for the analysis of the numerical, as well as the experimental data.

We propose a new meshless method to solve a backward inverse heat conduction problem. The numerical scheme, based on the fundamental solution of the heat equation and radial basis functions (RBFs), is used to obtain a numerical solution. Since the coefficients matrix is ill-conditioned, the Tikhonov regularization (TR) method is employed to solve the resulted system of linear equations. Also, the generalized cross-validation (GCV) criterion is applied to choose a regularization parameter. A test problem demonstrates the stability, accuracy, and efficiency of the proposed method.

Various methods have been proposed to solve the inverse heat conduction problem of determining a boundary condition at the surface of a body from discrete internal temperature measurements. These include function specification and regularization methods. This paper investigates the various components of the regularization method using the sequential regularization method proposed by Beck and Murio (1986). Specifically, the effects of the regularization order and the influence of the regularization parameter are analyzed. It is shown that as the order of regularization increases, the bias errors decrease and the variance increases. Comparatively, the zeroth regularization has higher bias errors and the second-order regularization is more sensitive to random errors. As the regularization parameter decreases, the sensitivity of the estimator to random errors is shown to increase; on the other hand, the bias errors are shown to decrease.

AbstractWe investigate a two-dimensional radially symmetric inverse heat conduction problem, which is ill-posed in the sense that the solution does not depend continuously on input data. By generalizing the idea of kernel approximation, we devise a modified kernel in the frequency domain to reconstruct a numerical solution for the inverse heat conduction problem from the given noisy data. For the stability of the numerical approximation, we develop seven regularization techniques with some stability and convergence error estimates to reconstruct the unknown solution. Numerical experiments illustrate that the proposed numerical algorithm with regularization techniques provides a feasible and effective approximation to the solution of the inverse and ill-posed problem.
