Plenary lecture
An online live plenary lecture will be held by Professor Jean-Christophe Batsale. The title of the plenary lecture is Multispectral and multiscale infrared imaging for the study of heat and mass transfer in heterogeneous media.
Plenary lecture abstract
Generally the IR images are related to the transient temperature field related to the emission of a black surface in response to an external or internal heating (active IR thermography). The first applications were devoted to the so called thermal Non-Destructive Evaluation methods with a uniform flash or periodic front face heating for the detection of delaminations in composite multilayered samples. The main assumption was then to consider a thin sample and 1D transient heat diffusion through the sample (transverse diffusion). With simplified assumptions related to the transverse diffusion the in-plane diffusion and transport phenomena can be also considered. A general equation can be applied in order to balance the heat transfer at the pixel scale or between groups of pixels in order to estimate several fields of thermophysical properties (heterogeneous field of in-plane diffusivity, flow distributions, source terms).
