A two Dimensional Mathematical Model to Study Temperature Distribution in Human Peripheral Region During Wound Healing Process Due to Plastic Surgery

Mathematics has a rich history as a tool for biologists, plays an essential role in understanding biological systems on many different scales like size and time. Biomathematics encompasses the application of mathematical methods to the study of living organisms. In the present study we investigate the transient state temperature distribution of human peripheral region with respect to plastic surgery by incorporating the physiological parameters like thermal conductivity, rate of blood mass flow and metabolism etc. It is based on the fact that the part which has abnormality is identified and removed by leaving the normal tissues as it is. The gap due to removal is filled by healthy tissues of surroundings by healing process. In this study, the finite element method is implemented to solve the transient two dimensional bioheat problem for triangular elements with linear boundary conditions. Numerical results are obtained through MATLAB programming for normal and abnormal tissues.
