Semi-analytical inverse heat conduction on a rotating cylinder with Laplace and Fourier transforms

This work aims to verify the feasibility of the estimation of heat fluxes during the cooling of a rotating cylinder by an impinging jet. A semi-analytical method has been developed for this two-dimensional inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP) using Laplace and Fourier transforms technique. The simulations of inversion for two representative test cases show that the estimated surface heat flux is not biased and can therefore be reconstructed.
