Abstract. In the paper the numerical analysis of heat transfer process proceeding in the domain of a biological tissue is presented. In particular, the two-dimensional problem is considered, in which the thermophysical parameters (volumetric specific heat and thermal conductivity) are given as intervals. The problem discussed has been solved using the interval finite difference method using the rules of directed interval arithmetic. In the final part of the paper the results of numerical computation are shown.
The system casting-mould is considered. The thermal processes proceeding in a casting sub-domain are described using the one domain approach. The model of solidification process is supplemented by the energy equation concerning the mould sub-domain, the continuity conditions given on the contact surface between casting and mould, boundary conditions on the outer surface of the system and the initial ones.
To solve the problem the generalized variant of finite difference method (GFDM) is used. Temporary and local values of temperature can be found at the optional set of collocation points from the domain considered. This essential advantage of GFDM allows to locate and thicken nodes at the regions for which the temperature gradients and cooling (heating) rates are considerable. In the final part of the paper, the example of numerical simulation is shown.
Abstract. The dual-phase lag equation (DPLE) is considered. This equation belongs to the group of hyperbolic PDE, contains a second order time derivative and higher order mixed derivative in both time and space. From the engineer's point of view, the DPLE results from the generalized form of the Fourier law. It is applied as a mathematical model of thermal processes proceeding in the micro-scale and also in the case of bio-heat transfer problem analysis. At the stage of numerical computations the different approximate methods of the PDE solving can be used. In this paper, the authors present the considerations concerning the stability conditions of the explicit scheme of finite difference method (FDM). The appropriate conditions have been found using the von Neumann analysis. In the final part of the paper, the results of testing computations are shown.
