Abstract
This work proposes a multigrid Waveform Relaxation Method (WRMG) that uses the finite difference method for the discretization to solve Pennes’ bioheat equation. There is no evidence in the literature of using the WRMG to solve this equation. The proposed algorithm is based on the red-black Gauss-Seidel smoother in space and the line Gauss-Seidel smoother in time. Verification of code is presented. The performance analysis of the multigrid method confirms the convergence and efficiency of the algorithm. The method, which favors parallel architecture, is tested in two-dimensional numerical experiments on an academic problem and for the thermal analysis of human skin.
