On the Thermoregulation in the Human Microvascular System

Abstract The bio‐heat transfer equation is a macroscopic model for describing the heat transfer in microvascular tissue. So far the derivation of the Helmholtz term arising in the bio‐heat transfer equation is not completely satisfactory. Our results show that this term may be understood as asymptotic result of boundary value problems which provide a microscopic description for microvascular tissue. In view of a future integration of the bio‐heat transfer equation in a heterogeneous heat distribution model we present also asymptotic estimtates for first order correctors.
