    A novel framework for the estimation of interfacial heat transfer coefficient using Bat algorithm during solidification of metal casting
    (Toronto Metropolitan University, 2019) Vishweshwara, P.S.; Gnanasekaran, N.; Arun, M.
    In the present work, the interfacial heat transfer coefficient (IHTC) at the mold metal interface is estimated during solidification of Al-4.5wt%Cu alloy using ANN-Bat-Bayesian framework. The forward model comprises of a one dimensional transient governing equation for the solidification of metal casting and is solved using explicit finite difference scheme with the available IHTC correlation from the literature. Within the range of values of constants of IHTC correlation, a set of numerical simulation is performed and corresponding temperature output is trained using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The network created acts a fast forward model replacing the FDM scheme during IHTC estimation thus reducing computational time. Bat algorithm is used as inverse method along with the Bayesian framework, that drives towards the accurate retrieval of unknown parameters. © 2019, Toronto Metropolitan University.

    Simultaneous estimation of unknown parameters using a-priori knowledge for the estimation of interfacial heat transfer coefficient during solidification of Sn–5wt%Pb alloy—an ANN-driven Bayesian approach
    (Springer, 2019) Vishweshwara, P.S.; Gnanasekaran, N.; Arun, M.
    The present methodology focuses on model reduction in which the prevalent one-dimensional transient heat conduction equation for a horizontal solidification of Sn–5wt%Pb alloy is replaced with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in order to estimate the unknown constants present in the interfacial heat transfer coefficient correlation. As a novel approach, ANN-driven forward model is synergistically combined with Bayesian framework and Genetic algorithm to simultaneously estimate the unknown parameters and modelling error. Gaussian noise is then added to the temperature distribution obtained using the forward approach to represent real-time experiments. The hallmark of the present work is to reduce the computational time of both the forward and the inverse methods and to simultaneously estimate the unknown parameters using a-priori engineering knowledge. The results of the present methodology prove that the simultaneous estimation of unknown parameters can be effectively obtained only with the use of Bayesian framework. © 2019, Indian Academy of Sciences.
