RECONSTRUCTION OF TEMPERATURE FIELDS FROM KNOWN BOUNDARY DATA USING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Abstract

A novel numerical technique is presented with which the temperature profile within a selected transverse plane of an object can be reconstructed provided the boundary data around the transverse plane are known. Numerical simulations of the proposed computed tomography technique are performed to verify its feasibility and accuracy using several heat conduction examples whose exact solutions can be found in literature. Restrictions of and mathematical difficulties encountered in the proposed technique are presented.
