Abstract

This chapter reviews the numerical analysis of thermal processes proceeding in the multilayer domain of skin tissue subjected to an external heat source. Heat transfer in the skin tissue was assumed to be transient and2D. The bio-heat transfer in the domain considered is described by the system of the Pennes equations.On the assumed part of skin surface the Neumann condition determining the value of external heat flux is given, on the conventionally assumed internal surfaces of the tissue–the no-flux condition is accepted. For time t= 0 the initial distribution of temperature is known. The main subject of the chapter is the sensitivity analysis of temperature field with respect to the skin tissue parameters. On the stage of numerical computations the boundary element method has been used. The skin has been assumed to be the homogeneous domain characterized .by mean parameters of successive layers
