Reverse time modeling of thermal problems using the transmission line matrix approach

The possibility of using inverse scattering for reverse time modeling of th ermal diffusion problems using the transmission line matrix is discussed. C onsideration is given to network parameterization via a series of numerical experiments. A three-dimensional implementation shows that, although there is a tendency for rounding errors to accumulate, it is possible to use rev erse time modeling to reconstruct a previous temperature distribution and t he thermal history of individual points in space.
