Random Data Analysis And Measurement Procedures

This is a review of recent mathematical and computational advances in optical tomography. We discuss the physical foundations of forward models for light propagation on microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic scales. We also consider direct and numerical approaches to the inverse problems that arise at each of these scales. Finally, we outline future directions and open problems in the field.

Optical tomography: forward and inverse problems

Many radial basis function (RBF) methods contain a free shape parameter that plays an important role for the accuracy of the method. In most papers the authors end up choosing this shape parameter by trial and error or some other ad hoc means. The method of cross validation has long been used in the statistics literature, and the special case of leave-one-out cross validation forms the basis of the algorithm for choosing an optimal value of the shape parameter proposed by Rippa in the setting of scattered data interpolation with RBFs. We discuss extensions of this approach that can be applied in the setting of iterated approximate moving least squares approximation of function value data and for RBF pseudo-spectral methods for the solution of partial differential equations. The former method can be viewed as an efficient alternative to ridge regression or smoothing spline approximation, while the latter forms an extension of the classical polynomial pseudo-spectral approach. Numerical experiments illustrating the use of our algorithms are included.

On choosing “optimal” shape parameters for RBF approximation

Boundary‐Element Method

A localized radial basis function (RBF) meshless method is developed for coupled viscous fluid flow and convective heat transfer problems. The method is based on new localized radial-basis function (RBF) expansions using Hardy Multiquadrics for the sought-after unknowns. An efficient set of formulae are derived to compute the RBF interpolation in terms of vector products thus providing a substantial computational savings over traditional meshless methods. Moreover, the approach developed in this paper is applicable to explicit or implicit time marching schemes as well as steady-state iterative methods. We apply the method to viscous fluid flow and conjugate heat transfer (CHT) modeling. The incompressible Navier‐Stokes are time marched using a Helmholtz potential decomposition for the velocity field. When CHT is considered, the same RBF expansion is used to solve the heat conduction problem in the solid regions enforcing temperature and heat flux continuity of the solid/fluid interfaces. The computation is accelerated by distributing the load over several processors via a domain decomposition along with an interface interpolation tailored to pass information through each of the domain interfaces to ensure conservation of field variables and derivatives. Numerical results are presented for several cases including channel flow, flow in a channel with a square step obstruction, and a jet flow into a square cavity. Results are compared with commercial computational fluid dynamics code predictions. The proposed localized meshless method approach is shown to produce accurate results while requiring a much-reduced effort in problem preparation in comparison to other traditional numerical methods.

An Efficient Localized Radial Basis Function Meshless Method for Fluid Flow and Conjugate Heat Transfer

Film cooling effectiveness: Comparison of adiabatic and conjugate heat transfer CFD models

A method of reducing the number of degrees of freedom and the overall computing times in finite element method (FEM) has been devised. The technique is valid for linear problems and arbitrary temporal variation of boundary conditions. At the first stage of the method standard FEM time stepping procedure is invoked. The temperature fields obtained for the first few time steps undergo statistical analysis yielding an optimal set of globally defined trial and weighting functions for the Galerkin solution of the problem at hand. Simple matrix manipulations applied to the original FEM system produce a set of ordinary differential equations of a dimensionality greatly reduced when compared with the original FEM formulation. Using the concept of modal analysis the set is then solved analytically. Treatment of non-homogeneous initial conditions, time-dependent boundary conditions and controlling the error introduced by the reduction of the degrees of freedom are discussed. Several numerical examples are included for validation of the approach. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Proper orthogonal decomposition and modal analysis for acceleration of transient FEM thermal analysis

A conjugate heat transfer solver has been developed and applied to a realistic film-cooled turbine vane for a variety of blade materials. The solver used for the fluid convection part of the problem is the Glenn-HT general multiblock heat transfer code. The solid conduction module is based on the Boundary Element Method (BEM), and is coupled directly to the flow solver. A chief advantage of the BEM method is that no volumetric grid is required inside the solid – only the surface grid is needed. Since a surface grid is readily available from the fluid side of the problem, no additional gridding is required. This eliminates one of the most time consuming elements of the computation for complex geometries. Two conjugate solution examples are presented - a high thermal conductivity Inconel nickel-based alloy vane case and a low thermal conductivity silicon nitride ceramic vane case. The solutions from the conjugate analyses are compared with an adiabatic wall convection solution. It is found that the conjugate heat transfer cases generally have a lower outer wall temperature due to thermal conduction from the outer wall to the plenum. However, some locations of increased temperature are seen in the higher thermal conductivity Inconel vane case. This is a result of the fact that film cooling is a two-temperature problem, which causes the direction of heat flux at the wall to change over the outer surface. Three-dimensional heat conduction in the solid allows for conduction heat transfer along the vane wall in addition to conduction from outer to inner wall. These effects indicate that the conjugate heat transfer in a complicated geometry such as a film-cooled vane is not governed by simple one-dimensional conduction from the vane surface to the plenum surface, especially when the effects of coolant injection are included.
