. In this article we study the heat flux distribution in skin tissues in the presence of a tumor. A five-layered two-dimensional skin geometry is considered and the bioheat transfer is modeled by Pennes equation. We propose a recovery technique that improves the accuracy and ensures the continuity of the heat flux computed using finite-element method at the different interfaces of the structure. An...
