... and shear-thinning viscosity are the primary causes of its non-Newtonian characteristics. Hence, the rheology of the fluid (blood) is accurately captured with the Ellis fluid model. Both Joule heating and viscous dissipation are accounted for during thermal analysis. The electric potential induced...

... damage to the healthy lumen wall. We investigated noncontact IRE using a wet electrode approach for tumor ablation in a human esophagus with finite element models for electric field distribution, joule heating, thermal flux, and metabolic heat generation. Simulation results indicated the feasibility...
