Abstract

This paper aims to estimate a location- and time-dependent high-magnitude heat flux in a heat conduction problem. The heat flux is applied on a small region of a surface of a flat plate, while transient temperature measurements are taken on the opposite surface. This inverse problem is solved using the Kalman filter and a reduced forward model, obtained by simplifications of a three-dimensional and nonlinear heat conduction problem. To deal with the modeling errors of this reduced model, the Approximation Error Model is used. The results show that excellent estimates can be obtained at feasible computational times.
