Numerical study of the modeling error in the online input estimation algorithm used for inverse heat conduction problems (IHCPs)

A numerical investigation has been conducted to study the effect of modeling error in the state equation on the performance of the online input estimation algorithm in its application to the inverse heat conduction problems. This modeling error is used as a tuning parameter known as the stabilizing parameter in the online input estimation algorithm of the inverse heat conduction problems. Three different cases which cover most forms of the boundary heat flux functions have been considered. These cases are: square wave, triangular wave and mixed wave heat fluxes. The investigation has been carried for a one dimensional inverse heat conduction problem. Temperature measurements required for the inverse algorithm was generated by using a numerical solution of the direct heat conduction problem employing the three boundary heat flux functions. The most important finding of this investigation is that a robust range of the stabilizing parameter has been found which achieves the desired trade-off between the filter tracking ability and its sensitivity to measurement errors. For all three considered cases, it has been found that there is a common optimal value of the stabilizing parameter at which the estimate bias is minimal. This finding is very important for practical applications since this parameter is unknown practically and this study provides a needed guidance for assuming this parameter. The effect of changing other important parameters in the online input estimation algorithm on its performance has also been studied in this investigation.
