Abstract
In this paper the transient bioheat transfer problem given by the one-dimensional Pennes equation with mixed boundary conditions is considered. The model assumes the heat transfer between the skin and its surroundings in the case of a natural and forced convection. For computations the interval finite difference method of Crank- -Nicolson type together with the floating-point interval arithmetic is used. In this way, uncertain geometric and thermophysical parameters can be represented in the form of intervals as well as the resultant temperature distribution over time.
