Numerical solutions of nonlocal heat conduction technique in tumor thermal therapy

Abstract

The heat transport that takes place in living tissue during magnetic tumor hyperthermia is described in this study using the nonlocal bioheat model in spherical coordinates. In magnetic fluid hyperthermia, it is crucial to regulate the therapeutic temperature. This paper suggests a hybrid numerical approach that employs the Laplace transforms, change of variables, and modified discretization techniques, coupled with nonlocal hyperbolic shape function, to tackle the present problem. This study investigates the impacts of nonlocal parameter and the disparity in thermophysical properties between diseased and healthy tissue. A graph is displayed to represent the numerical temperature results. The validity of the numerical findings is demonstrated by comparing them with the results reported in previous literature.
