Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Chapter 8: Heat Transfer
1.) Basic Concepts and Modes of Heat Transfer
Heat Transfer may be defined as the transmission of energy from one region to another as
a result of temperature gradient, and is governed by the second law of thermodynamics
which dictates that free flow of heat is possible only from a body of higher temperature to
that at a lower temperature. There are three basic modes of heat transfer.
a. Conduction: Conduction is the transfer of heat between two bodies or two parts
of the same body in physical contact with it, through molecules without
appreciable displacement of molecules. In solids, as copper wire, the energy
transfer arises because atoms at a higher temperature vibrate more excitedly;
hence they transfer energy to neighboring atoms. In metals, the free electrons also
contribute to the heat conduction process. In liquids or gas, the molecules are also
mobile, and energy is conducted by molecular collisions.
b. Convection: Convection is the transfer of heat within a fluid by the mass
movement of fluids. When a temperature difference produces a density difference,
which results in mass movement of the fluids and thus causes convection heat
transfer, the process is called free or natural convection. When the mass
movement is caused by an external device like pump, fan etc, and then the process
is called forced convection.
c. Radiation: Radiation is the transfer of heat through space or matter by means of
electromagnetic waves or photons. All bodies radiate heat, so a transfer of heat by
radiation occurs because hot body emits more heat than it receives and a cold
body receives more heat than it emits. Heat transfer through radiation requires no
medium for propagation and will pass through a vacuum.
2.) Conduction: Conduction Rate Equation and Heat Transfer Coefficient
2.1 Fourier’s Law of Conduction
It states that the rate of flow of heat through a single homogeneous solid along one
dimensional is directly proportional to the area of the section and temperature gradient
along the length of the path of heat flow. Mathematically,

Where, K = constant of proportionally or thermal conductivity of the body. This eq(1) is
also called as conduction rate equation. (-) negative sign indicates that heat naturally flow
from high temperature to low temperature
2. [R Gnyawali/ P Timilsina] Heat Transfer Page 2
Thermal Conductivity is the property of material which determines how much heat can
be conducted through the material and is given by the rate of heat transfer through a body
of unit area and unit thickness on a unit temperature difference.
2.2 One-dimensional heat transfer through slab:

flow of heat transfer from conduction is known as Thermal resistance. This is inversely
proportional to the thermal conductivity (K) of the solid. The unit for the thermal
resistance is 0

2.5 Radial Heat Conduction through Tubes (Cylinder)

of the cylinder i.e. longitudinal direction. Take a small annular section with thickness dr
at a radius r.

3.) Convection:
The appropriate rate equation for the convective heat transfer between a surface and an
adjacent fluid is prescribed by Newton's Law of cooling:
Newton’s Law of cooling is defined as heat flow rate is directly proportional to area
exposed to heat transfer and temperature difference between the surface and fluid
temperatures.

The transmission of heat per unit time from a surface by convection is given by

& ………………..eq(9)
Q& = rate of quantity of convective heat transferred
h = coefficient of convective heat transfer
A = area of surface exposed to heat transfer
wT = temperature of surface
∝T = temperature of fluid
Consider the heated plate shown in figure. The temperature of the plate is wT , and the
temperature of the fluid ∝T . The velocity of the flow will appear as shown, being zero at
the plate as a result of viscous action. Since the velocity of the fluid layer at the wall will
be zero, the heat must be transferred only by conduction at that point. The temperature
gradient is dependent on the rate at which the fluid carries away the heat. A high velocity
produces a large temperature gradient.
The coefficient of convective heat transfer ‘h’ may be defined as the rate of heat
transmitted for a unit temperature difference between the fluid and unit area of surface.
The value of ‘h’ depends on the fluids, their velocity and temperature.

3.2 Introduction to Boundary Layer
Consider a heated wall surface temperature sT over which a fluid with undisturbed
velocity ∞U and temperature ∞T . The particles of fluid in intimate contact with the plate
tend to adhere to it and a region of variable velocity builds up between the plate surface
and the free fluid stream as indicated in Figure.
The fluid velocity decreases as it approaches the solid surface, reaching to zero in the
fluid layer immediately next to the surface. This thin layer of stagnated fluid has been
called the hydrodynamic boundary layer. The quantity of heat transferred is highly
dependent upon the fluid motion within this boundary layer, being determined chiefly by
the thickness of the layer. The boundary layer thickness δ is arbitrarily defined as the
distance y from the plate surface at which the velocity approaches 99% of free stream
velocity.
Reynolds Number (Re): Reynolds number is a ratio of the inertia force to the
viscous force. It indicates the relative importance of inertial and viscous effects in a fluid
motion. At low Reynolds number, the viscous effects dominate and the fluid motion is
laminar. At high Reynolds number, the inertial effects lead to turbulent flow and the
associated turbulence level dominates the momentum and energy flux.

4) Radiation:
The maximum rate of radiation that can be emitted from a surface at an absolute
temperature T (in K or R) is given by the Stefan–Boltzmann law as the maximum
emissive power of a black body is directly proportional to fourth power of its absolute
temperature and area.

The idealized surface that emits radiation at this maximum rate is called a blackbody, and
the radiation emitted by a blackbody is called blackbody radiation. The radiation emitted
by all real surfaces is less than the radiation emitted by a blackbody at the same
temperature, and is expressed as;
4
ATQ εσ= ……………………………………eq(14)
where ε is the emissivity of the surface. The property emissivity, ε , whose value is in the
range 0≤ε ≤1, is a measure of how closely a surface approximates a blackbody for which
ε = 1.
The radiant heat-exchange between two grey bodies at temperature T1 and T2 depends on
how the two bodies view each other (Shape Factor F1-2) and their emissivities, and is
given by

4.1 Radiation Properties
When radiant energy strikes a material surface, part of the radiation is reflected, part is
absorbed and part is transmitted. We define reflectivity ( ρ ) as the fraction reflected, the
absorptivity (α ) as the fraction absorbed, and the transmissivity (τ ) as the fraction
transmitted.
where E is the radiation energy incident on the surface, and Eabs, Eref, and Etr are the
absorbed, reflected, and transmitted portions of it, respectively. The first law of
thermodynamics requires that the sum of the absorbed, reflected, and transmitted
radiation energy be equal to the incident radiation. That is,
Eabs+ Eref + Etr = E
Dividing each term of this relation by E yields Thus,
ρ +α +τ =1……………………………………….eq(16)
Incident Radiation

Most solid bodies don’t transmit thermal radiation i.e. opaque, so that for many applied
problems the transmissivity may be taken as zero. So,
10. [R Gnyawali/ P Timilsina] Heat Transfer Page 10
ρ +α =1
The emissive power (E) of a body is defined as the energy emitted by the body per unit
area and per unit time.
4.2 Black and Grey Bodies
A black body is defined as the body which absorbs all the incident radiation.
α =1, ρ =τ =0

TEb σ=
Real bodies are not ‘black’ and radiate less energy than the black body. To account this
emissivity (ε ) is defined in terms of emissive powers of real body and the black body,
both evaluated at same temperature. Thus,
bE
E
=ε
The emissive power of a body to the emissive power of a black body at the same
temperature is equal to the absorptivity of body. So, αε = . The emissivity of a material
varies with temperature and the wavelength of radiation.
Radiation of all frequencies is emitted from a hot surface. The emissive power E,
therefore has contributions at all frequencies, and we write ∫=
