Informationen zum Autor W. J. Minkowycz Klappentext With contributions from a team of renowned international researchers who cover both fundamentals and applications, this volume provides a definitive treatment of the numerical simulation of bioheat transfer and fluid flow. It covers novel modeling techniques and numerical simulation for solving problems in biomedical engineering. The book presents various forms of the bioheat equation appropriate for several thermal therapies, such as laser irradiation. It also discusses tumor detection and treatment, shows how nanoparticles can be used to improve the efficacy of tumor treatment, and includes a detailed case study describing the thermal ablation of an enlarged prostate.
