Abstract:Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to investigate the blood flow and temperature distribution in human extremities. Design/methodology/approach-The simulation is carried out from three aspects. Firstly, the hemodynamics in the human upper limb is analyzed by one-dimensional model for pulsalite flow in an elastic tube. Secondly, the blood flow and heat transfer through living tissues are described basing on porous media theory, and the tissue model is coupled with the one-dimensional blood flow model.
