We performed a performance assessment of a recently developed method: L,vy flight particle swarm optimization. This method, which was developed for optimization problems, has shown good results. There is not an application to inverse problems. Now, it is applied for inverse heat transfer, and results are good enough. In particular, a parameter called "limit" is analyzed for different values (from 10 to 150). It shows that performance of the method for estimating parameters in inverse problems is affected by this parameter. When limit reaches a value of 80, ordinary least squares norm and consuming time begin to exhibit better results.
