TY - GEN A1 - Erdmann, Bodo A1 - Lang, Jens A1 - Seebass, Martin T1 - Adaptive Solutions of Nonlinear Parabolic Equations with Application to Hyperthermia Treatments N2 - We present a self-adaptive finite element method to solve nonlinear evolution problems in 3D. An implicit time integrator of Rosenbrock type is coupled with a multilevel approach in space. The proposed method is applied to hyperthermia treatments to demonstrate its potential for the solving of complicated problems.

A nonlinear three--dimensional heat transfer model based on temperature--dependent blood perfusion is applied to predict the temperature. Using linearly implicit methods in time and adaptive multilevel finite elements in space, we are able to integrate efficiently the instationary nonlinear heat equation with high accuracy. Optimal heating is obtained by minimizing an integral object function which measures the distance between desired and model predicted temperatures. A sequence of minima is calculated from successively improved constant--rate perfusion models employing a damped Newton method in an inner iteration. We compare temperature distributions for two individual patients calculated on coarse and fine spatial grids and present numerical results of optimizations for a Sigma 60 Applicator of the BSD 2000 Hyperthermia System.

A nonlinear three--dimensional heat--transfer model based on temperature--dependent blood perfusion is applied to predict the temperature. Optimal heating is obtained by minimizing an integral object function which measures the distance between desired and model predicted temperatures. Sequential minima are calculated from successively improved constant--rate perfusion models employing a damped Newton method in an inner iteration.
