Nonoverlapping Dirichlet–Neumann method for transient bioheat transfer in the human eye.

This paper presents a 2D simulation of transient heat transfer in the human eye using appropriate boundary conditions. The mathematical model governing bioheat transfer in the human eye is discussed and the existence and uniqueness of the solution are proven. Four methods based on finite element method and nonoverlapping domain decomposition method to obtain transient heat transfer in the human eye are presented and described in details. After conducting numerous simulations using realistic parameters obtained from the open literature and after comparison with measurements reported by previous experimental studies, all proposed methods gave an accurate representation of transient heat transfer in the human eye. The results obtained by the domain decomposition of the human eye into four subdomains are found to be the closest to reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
