TY - JOUR AU - Sigalov, A. AB - SURVEY MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF HEAT-EXCHANGE PROCESSES IN THE HUMAN BODY G. N. Dul'nev, M. M. Korotkevich, UDC 536.24 N. V. Pilipenko, and A. V. Sigalov Methods of mathematical modeling of heat-exchange processes in the human body are used in various problems in the fields of medicine, physiology, athletics, the garment industry, and in the design of survival systems. Mathematical models describing the thermal states of the human body as a whole or its separate organs have been worked out in a large number of papers, starting from the 1940s. With thedevelopment of modern computational techniques and the more detailed physiologlcal information available in recent years, the mathematical models have become more refined and more complex. With the help of numerical methods, com- plex models taking into account the anatomical structure of the body, different heat-trans- port mechanisms, and the effect of the thermoregulatory system can be worked out. In the present paper, we review the literature, discuss methods of constructing mathematical mo- dels, and present the application of the multistage modeling method in the analysis of the temperature field in the human body. There are two main approaches in constructing mathem-tical models of the human body; the lumped parameter TI - Mathematical modeling of heat-exchange processes in the human body JF - Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics DO - 10.1007/BF00826178 DA - 2004-11-30 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/springer-journals/mathematical-modeling-of-heat-exchange-processes-in-the-human-body-0s5fkmu0hR SP - 117 EP - 125 VL - 46 IS - 1 DP - DeepDyve ER -
