Using the extended generalized Riccati equation mapping method, we find analytical traveling wave solutions of the considered BHT equation. All the travelling wave solutions obtained have been used to explicitly investigate the effect of linear and quadratic coefficients of temperature dependence on temperature distribution in tissues. We found that the parameter of the nonlinear superposition formula for Riccati can be used to control the temperature of living tissues. Our results prove that the extended generalized Riccati equation mapping method is a powerful tool for investigating thermal traveling-wave distribution in biological tissues.展开更多

Using an extended mapping method with symbolic computation, we obtain the exact analytical thermal traveling wave solution, which describes the non-uniform temperature distribution inside the bodies. The found exact solution is used to investigate the temperature distribution in the tissues. It is found that the surrounding medium with higher temperature does not necessarily imply that the tissue will quickly (after a short duration of heating process) reach the desired temperature. It is also found that increased perfusion causes a decline in local temperature.展开更多

Using the obtained analytic solutions, the effects of the thermal diffusivity, the temperature-inde- pendent perfusion component, and the temperature-dependent perfusion component in living tissues are analyzed numerically. The results show that the derived analytic solution is useful to easily and accurately study the thermal behavior of the biological system, and can be extended to applications such as parameter measurement, temperature field reconstruction and clinical treatment.展开更多

The heat transfer characteristics of bio-materials, and theinfluences of pulse duration, power density, species of bio-materials, thickness and initialmoisture content of bio-materials on heat transfer were studied in details. The experimental resultsindicate that the penetration and absorption of laser in bio-materials are considerable, the heattransfer inside the bio-materials should include the effects of volumetric absorption, pulseduration, power density, bio-materials thickness, and material species have a significant influenceon the temperature variation.展开更多

Variational finite element method with Crank-Nicolson scheme is used to calculate the transient temperature distribution in normal human eye. The temperature with and without the effect of blood perfusion and metabolism on retina is simulated and compared for various ambient temperatures, evaporation rates and lens thermal conductivities. The obtained results are compared with experimental results and past results found in literatures. The results show that the steady state corneal temperature is achieved in around 31 and 45 minute of exposure at ambient temperatures 10℃ and 50℃ respectively. Steady state eye temperature is achieved earlier at higher evaporation rate. Similar result is achieved for higher lens thermal conductivity and also for lower ambient temperature.展开更多
