On the hyperbolic Pennes equation description of the heat pulse-human cornea interaction

General Physics 2012-04-01 v1

Abstract

In this paper laser heating of human cornea is investigated. The new heat transport equation in cornea -hyperbolic Pennes equation is formulated and solved. It is shown that for ultra-short laser pulses the thermal energy propagates with finite velocity whereas for parabolic Pennes equation velocity is infinite
