Abstract:A new finite element Gaussian belief propagation (FGaBP) algorithm for multi-physics applications is presented in this paper. The FGaBP method is first modified for solving the heat-transfer problem and then verified against an analytical solution. Combined with a Gauss-Seidel algorithm, FGaBP is used to solve the coupled electrical-thermal problem that emerges in radiofrequency ablation of hepatic tumors while the extent of ablated zone is computed for a simplified model. The multi-physics FGaBP algorithm pre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
