逆热问题指根据观测到的热扩散行为估算材料热物性。该问题在建筑外墙改造效果评估中尤为重要,可量化改造对传热系数的影响。然而,现场非侵入式数据受环境波动或理论假设偏差影响,导致传统方法易出错。现有测量方式或需破坏性操作、或耗时长、或对环境敏感。本文提出一种基于物理信息神经网络(PINN)的迭代框架,从一组热成像图中估计墙体导热系数k:先固定k求解正向热传导问题,再通过对比预测温度与实测热图优化k,循环直至收敛。利用气象站数据和有限体积法仿真数据,即使在非稳态条件下,只要清晨墙体温度接近稳态,即可准确预测k。尽管偏离稳态会降低精度,最大平均绝对误差仍控制在4.0851以内。本研究展示了PINN在真实条件下可靠估算材料属性的潜力,为现场无损检测提供新范式。鉴于目前针对机器学习特别是PINN解决现场逆问题的研究较少,本工作有望成为该领域的起点。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Inverse heat problems refer to the estimation of material thermophysical properties given observed or known heat diffusion behaviour. Inverse heat problems have wide-ranging uses, but a critical application lies in quantifying how building facade renovation reduces thermal transmittance, a key determinant of building energy efficiency. However, solving inverse heat problems with non-invasive data collected in situ is error-prone due to environmental variability or deviations from theoretically assumed conditions. Hence, current methods for measuring thermal conductivity are either invasive, require lengthy observation periods, or are sensitive to environmental and experimental conditions. Here, we present a PINN-based iterative framework to estimate the thermal conductivity k of a wall from a set of thermographs; our framework alternates between estimating the forward heat problem with a PINN for a fixed k, and optimizing k by comparing the thermographs and surface temperatures predicted by the PINN, repeating until the estimated k's convergence. Using both environmental data captured by a weather station and data generated from Finite-Volume-Method software simulations, we accurately predict k across different environmental conditions and data collection sampling times, given the temperature profile of the wall at dawn is close to steady state. Although violating the steady-state assumption impacts the accuracy of k's estimation, we show that our proposed framework still only exhibits a maximum MAE of 4.0851. Our work demonstrates the potential of PINN-based methods for reliable estimation of material properties in situ and under realistic conditions, without lengthy measurement campaigns. Given the lack of research on using machine learning, and more specifically on PINNs, for solving in-situ inverse problems, we expect our work to be a starting point for more research on the topic.
