Analytical assessment of the time‐space fractional bioheat transfer equation by the radial basis function method for living tissues

Abstract

AbstractIn recent years, thermal treatment has proven to be helpful, notably in oncology. In fact, ablating the superfluous mass and eliminating the malignant tumor using a different modality such as warmth or cooling is a therapeutic method. In this study, the radial basis function approach was used to answer the time‐space fractional heat transfer equations of human body tissue during thermal therapy. To validate the radial basis function technique, it was also compared to the fourth‐order Runge–Kutta numerical method. The findings demonstrated that this methodology is extremely accurate and efficient, with an error rate of less than 1%. The effect of time and spatial fractional parameters, blood perfusion coefficient, metabolic coefficient, and internal source coefficient on the temperature profile inside human living tissues has been studied and depicted well.
