Particle Swarm Optimization-based algorithms for solving inverse heat conduction problems of estimating surface heat flux

Abstract An inverse analysis of estimating a time-dependent surface heat flux for a three-dimensional heat conduction problem is presented. A global optimization method known as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is employed to estimate the unknown heat flux at the inner surface of a crystal tube from the knowledge of temperature measurements obtained at the external surface. Three modifications of the PSO-based algorithm, PSO with constriction factor, PSO with time-varying acceleration of the cognitive and social coefficients, and PSO with mutation are carried out to implement the optimization process of the inverse analysis. The results show that the PSO with mutation algorithm is significantly better than other PSO-based algorithms because it can overcome the drawback of trapping in the local optimum points and obtain better inverse solutions. The effects of measurement errors, number of dimensionalities, and number of generations on the inverse solutions are also investigated.
