A stable numerical solution for the inverse problem of identifying the energy absorption coefficient

The study of combustion associated phenomena in internal combustion engines is important for reasons that include pollutant formation control, and the heat transfer between the hot gases, the piston and combustion chamber walls. The main objective of the present paper is presenting a reliable and precise algorithm based on mollification and marching methods to determine the energy absorption coefficient. The stability and convergence of numerical solutions are investigated and the efficiency of the proposed algorithm is tested with two numerical examples.
