Abstract:
The boundary element method (BEM) is used to solve the coupled problem connected with the biological tissue heating. The tissue treated as a non-homogeneous domain (healthy tissue and tumor region) is subjected to external electromagnetic field. The thermal effect is produced by electrodes that touches the skin surface. External electromagnetic field generates the internal temperature field, which can be modelled by using the volumetric internal heat sources in the tissue domain (this source function constitutes one of components of the Pennes equation). In the paper, both BEM application to coupled bioheat transfer problems and numerical results of computations are theoretically considered. The successive examples show the different input data determining the electromagnetic field parameters.
