Computer simulation of cyclic temperature effect on the human skin

This paper presents the results of computer simulation of cyclic temperature effect on the human skin in a dynamic mode. A three-dimensional computer model of biological tissue was built with regard to thermophysical processes, blood circulation, heat exchange metabolic and phase transition processes. As an example, the case is considered when on the skin surface there is a work tool whose temperature varies in the temperature range [‑50 ÷ +50] °C. Temperature distributions in different layers of the human skin in heating and cooling modes have been determined. The results obtained make it possible to predict the depth of biological tissue freezing and heating with a given temperature effect. Bibl. 46, Fig. 10, Tabl. 2.
