WEB-SPLINE COMPUTATION OF TEMPERATURE RISE WITHIN A MODEL OF THE MICROWAVE-IRRADIATED HUMAN EYE

摘要

In this paper, we report a calculation of the microwave fields within a model of the human eye. FEM with web-spline computer modeling have been applied to study the corneal surface temperature increase during microwave irradiation. The mechanism of heat transfer from the eye and the selection of the thermal parameters of the media of the eye are also discussed. The implementation of these parameters in the web-spline solution of the heat conduction is then developed. Furthermore, temperature rises calculated are compared with the values found in the literature pertaining to microwave-induced cataract formation.
