Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a computational approach to examine the non-Fourier heat transfer process in skin tissue. The dual-phase-lag (DPL) model is employed to study bioheat transfer in skin tissue, for it has the ability to characterize microstructural interactions in heat transport. Large discrepancies are found to exist amongst the predictions of Pennes model and DPL model of bioheat transfer. The results obtained here will be helpful for analysis of thermal behaviour in medicine, especially for the improvement of currently used thermal therapies in clinics.
