In this study, coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Heat Transfer (CHT) unsteady simulation was employed to study pulsatile blood flow through the infrarenal aorta and the subsequent bioheat transfer effects on the temperature profile on the midriff skin surface. It was obser...
