TY - EJOU AU - Liu, Chein-Shan TI - A Fictitious Time Integration Method to Identify Time-Space-Dependent Heat Transfer Coefficient T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2011 VL - 16 IS - 2 SN - 1933-2815 AB - We consider an inverse problem for identifying a time-space-dependent heat transfer coefficient h(x,t) in a two-dimensional heat conduction equation, with the aid of an extra measurement of temperature at the top side of a rectangular plate. Finite differences are used to discretize the governing equation and boundary conditions of Neumann type, and then the Fictitious Time Integration Method (FTIM) is used to solve a large scale linear system of unknown variables. The numerical results show that the FTIM is effective and robust against noise. KW - DO - 10.3970/icces.2011.016.053
