Abstract

Abstract: Two-dimensional non-Fourier heat conduction in soft skin tissue irradiated by a laser beam on its surface is investigated on the basis of biothermomechanics. A new semianalytic solution to the thermal wave model of bioheat transfer in terms of integrals of a known function is obtained by using Laplace and Hankel transforms as well as their inverse transforms. Based on the obtained semianalytic solution, the result of numerical example indicates the thermal wave behavior caused by the non-Fourier effect is distinct. There is significant difference between the thermal wave and classical Pennes bioheat transfer.
