In this paper, we consider an inverse heat conduction problem with variable coefficient a(t). In many practical situations such as an on-line testing, we cannot know the initial condition for example because we have to estimate the problem for the heat process which was already started. Based on the method of fundamental solutions, we give a numerical scheme for solving the reconstruction problem. Since the governing equation contains variable coefficients, modified method of fundamental solutions was used to solve this kind of ill-posed problems. Some numerical examples are given for verifying the efficiency and accuracy of the presented method.

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.

We consider a Cauchy problem for the heat equation in the quarter plane, where data are given at x = 1 and a solution is sought in the interval 0 < x < 1. This inverse heat conduction problem is a model of a situation where one wants to determine the surface temperature given measurements inside a heat-conducting body. The problem is ill-posed in the sense that the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data. In an earlier paper we showed that replacement of the time derivative by a difference stabilizes the problem. In this paper we investigate the use of time differencing combined with a “method of lines” for solving numerically the initial value problem in the space variable. We discuss the numerical stability of this procedure, and we show that, in most cases, a usual explicit (e.g., Runge-Kutta) method can be used efficiently and stably. Numerical examples are given. The approach of this paper is proposed as an alternative way of implementing space-marching methods for the sideways heat equation.

The paper presented the description of the experimental installation for testing of the computer systems for on-line monitoring of the power boilers operation. The results of the experiment can be used for calculation of temperature and thermal stresses distribution in thick walled pressure elements based on the solution of the inverse heat conduction problem.

We consider an inverse heat conduction problem with convection term which appears in some applied subjects. This problem is ill posed in the sense that the solution (if it exists) does not depend continuously on the data. A generalized Tikhonov regularization method for this problem is given, which realizes the best possible accuracy.
