Abstract. The thin metal film subjected to the ultra-short laser pulse is analyzed. Heat transfer processes occurring in the domain considered are described by the dual-phase lag model in which the unknown is the heat flux, not, as usual, temperature. This approach is especially convenient in the case of Neumann boundary conditions, which are taken into account here. The mathematical model supplemented by initial conditions is solved using the explicit scheme of finite difference method. In the final part of the paper the examples of computations are shown and the conclusions are formulated.

Abstract. The implementation of the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) for the solution of the transient heat conduction problem is presented. The one dimensional task is considered and the different boundary conditions, specifically the Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin ones are taken into account. The D1Q2 lattice model is applied. To check the accuracy of the LBM algorithm, the same problems have been solved using the explicit variant of the finite difference method. In the final part of the paper, the results of computations are shown and the conclusions are formulated.

Axisymmetric tissue region heated by an external heat flux is considered. The mathematical model is based on the dual-phase lag equation supplemented by appropriate boundary and initial conditions. This equation, in relation to the Pennes’ equation, has two additional parameters, namely the relaxation time and the thermalization time. The aim of this research is to estimate the temperature changes due to changes of these parameters. To achieve this, sensitivity analysis methods are used. The basic problem and additional ones related to the sensitivity functions are solved using the implicit scheme of the finite difference method. The performed computations show that the temperature changes caused by changes in the relaxation and thermalization times are larger for higher values of the external heat flux and shorter times of its action.
