Estimation of heat flux in the nonlinear heat conduction problem becomes more challenging when the material at the boundary loses its mass due to phase change, chemical erosion, oxidation, or mechanical removal. In this paper, a new gradient-type method with adjoint problem is employed to predict the unknown time-varying heat flux at the receding surface in the nonlinear heat conduction problem. Particular features of this novel approach are discussed and examined. Results obtained by the new method for several test cases are benchmarked and analyzed using the numerical experiments with the simulated exact and noisy measurements. Exceedingly reliable estimation on the heat flux can be obtained from the knowledge of the transient temperature recordings, even in the case with measurement errors. In order to evaluate the performance characteristics of the present inverse scheme, simulations are conducted to analyze the effects of this technique with regard to conjugate gradient method with adjoint problem and variable metric method with adjoint problem. The obtained results show that the present inverse scheme distinguishably accelerates the convergence rate, which approve the well capability of the method for this type of heat conduction problems.

One Dimensional

A one-dimensional, nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem with surface ablation is considered. In-depth temperature measurements are used to restore the heat flux and the surface recession history. The presented method elaborates a whole domain, parameter estimation approach with the heat flux approximated by Fourier series. Two versions of the method are proposed: with a constant order and with a variable order of the Fourier series. The surface recession is found by a direct heat transfer solution under the estimated heat flux.

Inverse Heat Conduction

The inverse heat conduction problem involves the calculation of the surface heat flux from transient measured temperatures inside solids. The deviation of the estimated heat flux from the true heat flux due to stabilization procedures is called the deterministic bias. This paper defines two test problems that show the tradeoff between deterministic bias and sensitivity to measurement errors of inverse methods. For a linear problem, with the statistical assumptions of additive and uncorrelated errors having constant variance and zero mean, the second test case gives the standard deviation of the estimated heat flux. A methodology for the quantitative comparison of deterministic bias and standard deviation of inverse methods is proposed. Four numerical inverse methods are compared.

Element Analysis

This article addresses the use of boundary element method in conjunction with minimal energy technique for solving a geometrical inverse heat conduction problem. The problem considered in this study is to estimate the unknown inner boundary position in an irregular-shaped hollow body of which the inner boundary surface is subjected to a specified temperature condition. For solving the problem, first boundary element equations are converted into the quadratic programming problem by minimizing the energy functional with a constraint, next a hypothetical inner boundary is defined such that the actual inner boundary is located interior of the hypothetical solution domain, then temperatures at hypothetical inner boundary are determined to meet the constraints of measurement error in inner surface temperatures, and finally boundary element analysis is performed for the position of an unknown boundary. Based on these main solution procedures, an effective detection algorithm is provided. In addition, the solution method is numerically tested to investigate the effects of measurement errors on the accuracy of estimation.
