Dosimetry and hyperthermia computation in human tissues in presence of EM-waves using TLM method
Résumé
The interaction between electromagnetic waves and complex media and its consequences on other physical phenomena such as hyperthermia is a crucial issue for various types of applications. To name a few, electromagnetic compatibility, microwave ovens design, medical applications, and the design of electromagnetic devices and circuits that include lossy media. In this article, we present a full-wave time-domain TLM-based framework that can handle electromagnetic, thermal and the electromagnetic-thermal coupling scenarios. Some experiments are presented and their results are compared with FIT (Finite Integration Technique).
