Abstract
In this paper we apply the conjugate gradient method to solve the inverse problem of determining a time-dependent boundary heat flux in order to achieve a given temperature distribution at the final time. The derivation of sensitivity and adjoint equations in conjunction with the conjugate gradient algorithm are given in detail. The zeroth-order Tikhonov regularization is introduced to stabilize the inverse solution. Solutions by finite differences are obtained for various heat flux profiles. It is found that the time-dependent heat flux may be predicted only for a non-dimensional time of the order of 0.1 while the control problem can be satisfactorily solved for an arbitrary period of time.
