Numerical analysis of bioheat transfer in estimation of tumor tissue

In the present study, as an introduction to the concept and the history of the bioheat transfer is done, and then the structure of the blood perfusion in living tissues is described. Afterwards, a brief description of some of the most important bioheat models (Models of Pennes, Wulff, Klinger, Chen and Holmes etc.) is presented. Furthermore, this study explains the complexity of evaluating heat transfer within the tissues that thermally controlled by thermoregulatory mechanisms such as shivering, regulatory sweating, vasodilation, and vasoconstriction and some related studies in this field are mentioned. In this study, a numerical analysis is performed by using the Pennes, Wulff and Klinger continuity models to estimate the tumor tissue. As a result of numerical analysis which has been done by using the software program ANSYS-Thermal, the depth of the tumor tissue from the skin, and the size of the tissue is tried to be estimated.
