Numerical study of blood perfusion and nanoparticle transport in prostate and muscle tumours during intravenous magnetic hyperthermia

In the present work, a two-phase mathematical model of intravenous magnetic (Fe3O4,Fe2O3 or FePt) nanoparticle hyperthermia is considered for the treatment of muscle and prostate tumours. The blood-nanoparticle suspension is described as a non-Newtonian (Quemada) nanofluid, and the effects of thermo...
