Definitive Treatment of the Numerical Simulation of Bioheat
Transfer and Fluid Flow
Motivated by the upwelling of current interest in subjects
critical to human health, Advances in Numerical Heat Transfer,
Volume 3 presents the latest information on bioheat and biofluid
flow. Like its predecessors, this volume assembles a team of
renowned international researchers who cover both fundamentals and
applications. It explores ingenious modeling techniques and
innovative numerical simulation for solving problems in biomedical
engineering.
The text begins with the modeling of thermal transport by
perfusion within the framework of the porous-media theory. It goes
on to review other perfusion models, different forms of the bioheat
equation for several thermal therapies, and thermal transport in
individual blood vessels. The book then describes thermal methods
of tumor detection and treatment as well as issues of blood heating
and cooling during lengthy surgeries. It also discusses how the
enhancement of heat conduction in tumor tissue by intruded
nanoparticles improves the efficacy of thermal destruction of the
tumor. The final chapters focus on whole-body thermal models,
issues concerning the thermal treatment of cancer, and a case study
on the thermal ablation of an enlarged prostate.
