Main scientific
achievements:
- Application of the
boundary element method in
numerical modelling of
solidification process. The
basic algorithm of the BEM
has been extended for
strongly non-linear
differential equations by
introducing the additional
procedures linearizing the
problem considered.
Different variants of the
BEM for unsteady thermal
diffusion equations were
developed. These results
were presented in the series
of papers published among
others in Engineering
Analysis with Boundary
Elements, Journal of Cast
Metal Research, Journal of
Materials Processing
Technology, Archives of
Foundry Engineering, Journal
of Theoretical and Applied
Mechanics and summarized in
the monograph "Boundary
element method in heat
transfer", 2001 and chapter
"Boundary element method" in
book "Numerical Methods in
Computations of Foundry
Processes'' (B. Mochnacki,
J.S. Suchy, 1995).
-
Numerical modelling of
bio-heat transfer. Numerical
methods, in particular the
BEM and FDM, have been
applied to the computations
of steady and transient
temperature fields in domain
of biological tissue. The
continuous and vessels
models were developed.
Additionally one can find
the papers devoted to
numerical simulation of
freezing process (cryosurgery),
burns prediction etc. The
results of scientific
researches in this scope
have been presented, among
others, in: E.Majchrzak,
Application of general
boundary element method for
numerical solution of
bioheat transfer equation,

- Sensitivity
analysis. The sensitivity
analysis of temperature
distribution with respect to
perturbations of thermal
process parameters is also
the subject of interest. In
particular, the problems of
non-linear transient heat
diffusion have been
considered. The numerical
algorithms concerning the
transition of basic solution
on the others ones
corresponding to disturbed
input data were presented,
among others, in the papers
published in Materials
Science Forum,
Giessereiforschung -
International Foundry
Research, Archives of
Foundry Engineering.
-
Inverse problems in heat and
bioheat transfer. Essential
achievements in the scope of
numerical methods
application for inverse
problems solution. The
inverse problems are
connected with
identification of parameters
determining the course of
solidification in a system
casting-mould, in other
words the strongly
non-linear tasks concerning
the non-homogeneous domains
are considered. The
essential part of research
works is connected with the
identification problems
concerning the thermal
processes proceeding in
living tissues. As an
example, the problem of size
and position of tumor region
on the basis of measurements
of temperature field on skin
surface has been solved
(Engineering Applications of
Artificial Intelligence,
2007) and the identification
of electromagnetic field
parameters assuring the
cancer destruction during
hyperthermia treatment has
been done (Inverse Problems
in Science & Engineering,
2011).
- Microscale heat
transfer. The mathematical
models of the heat transfer
in microscale are
essentially different in
comparison with the
classical macro approach.
The existing results have
been presented, among others,
in the papers published,
among others, in Computer
Modelling in Engineering and
Sciences, Computer Methods
in Materials Science,
Journal of Theoretical and
Applied Mechanics,
Scientific Research of the
Institute of Mathematics and
Computer Science of
Czestochowa University of
Technology.
