APPLICATION OF HYBRID SIMULATION TO THE CRYOSURGERY OF AN IRREGULAR TUMOR

ABSTRACT In the current paper, numerical simulation has been done for the two-dimensional time dependent Pennes’ heat transfer model, solved for irregular diseased tumor cells. An elliptic cryoprobe of varying sizes is taken at the center of the computational domain in such a manner that the location of the probe is fixed throughout the computation. The cooling performance of various nanoparticles injected at very low temperature, has been studied by implementing hybrid FEM/EFGM approach. Rate of cooling is obtained for various nanoparticles and infusion of Au nanoparticles is highly efficient on increasing the heating rate than other nanoparticles.
