Steady-State Thermophysical Simulation of a 3D CAD Model of Human-Eye

Temperature is an important parameter to distinguish between the healthy and the diseased state of human-body. The research-work, presented in this article, has been carried out to develop the temperature distribution throughout the human-eye undergoing regular physiological activities. A 3D computer aided design (CAD) of human-eye is developed using SolidWorks to conduct the simulation of bioheat transfer in the ocular tissues using COMSOL Multiphysics. The results obtained from this study show that the temperature of human-eye gradually increases from cornea to sclera being minimum of 307.45K (34.3¼C) on the surface of cornea and maximum of 310K (37°C) at sclera considering the ambient temperature of 298K (25°C) and the arterial blood temperature of 310K (37°C).
