Investigating Thermal Cooling Mechanisms of Human Body Under Exposure to Electromagnetic Radiation

Thermal cooling mechanisms of human exposed to electromagnetic (EM) radiation are studied in detail. The EM and thermal co-simulation method is utilized to calculate the and temperature distributions. Moreover, Pennes' bioheat equation is solved to understand different thermal cooling mechanism...
