Hi everybody, is it possible to solve an "inverse heat conduction" problem using Comsol solver? The aim is to find the boundary heat flux on a disk surface, using boundary and internal temperature values.
Thanks

Hi

inverse problems, defined as mean square optimisation problems are readily solved, you need to define your global variable for the k heat conduction such that your overall conditions are fulfilled. This is what COMSOL uses internally for many specific BC definitions. Check the doc, more in the optimisation but you do not need the optimisation module for one variable. I.e. V3.5 structural doc how to apply torque moment loads

Have fun Comsoling
