Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to develop a computational model of microcirculation for heat transfer analysis. It is desirable for human heat transfer analysis to be able to consider macro and micro circulation. In a computational model, it was difficult to consider macro and micro circulation simultaneously. Therefore, in our model, we regard cell tissue and capillary vessel on microcirculation area as porous media to take a macroscopic view of microcirculation. The volume of fluid method and the finite volume method are adapted for its strategy. Blood flow and heat exchange among cell tissue, blood and vessel are considered simultaneously.
