ABSTRACT

Bioheat transfer simulations have signicant applications in a wide variety of clinical, basic, and environmental sciences [1,2]. Especially, understanding the heat transfer in biological tissues involving either the raising or lowering of temperature is a necessity for many therapeutic practices such as cancer hyperthermia [3], burn injury [2,4], brain hypothermia resuscitation [5], disease diagnostics [6], thermal comfort analysis [7], cryosurgery [8,9], and cryopreservation [10,11]. Up to now, much attention has been generally paid to the simulations of hyperthermia and cryosurgery. is is because such endeavors are more oen urgently requested in tumor treatment.
