Description
Summary:The transient plane source (TPS) method heat transfer model was established. A body-fitted coordinate system is proposed to transform the unstructured grid structure to improve the speed of solving the heat transfer direct problem of the winding probe. A parallel Bayesian optimization algorithm based on a multi-objective hybrid strategy (MHS) is proposed based on an inverse problem. The efficiency of the thermophysical properties inversion was improved. The results show that the meshing method of 30° is the best. The transformation of body-fitted mesh is related to the orthogonality and density of the mesh. Compared with parameter inversion the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, the absolute values of the relative deviations of different materials are less than 0.03%. The calculation speeds of the body-fitted grid program are more than 36% and 91% higher than those of the CFD and self-developed unstructured mesh programs, respectively. The application of body-fitted coordinate system effectively improves the calculation speed of the TPS method. The MHS is more competitive than other algorithms in parallel mode, both in terms of accuracy and speed. The accuracy of the inversion is less affected by the number of initial samples, time range, and parallel points. The number of parallel points increased from 2 to 6, reducing the computation time by 66.6%. Adding parallel points effectively accelerates the convergence of algorithms.
