摘要

This paper presents a mathematical study of a nonlinear-coupled Thermistor–Navier–Stokes system modeling radiofrequency ablation in biological tissue considered as porous media. The model describes a three-phase flow system consisting of liquid, porous, and solid components. Using the Faedo-Galerkin method, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution. Furthermore, in establishing the a priori estimates, we show how the characteristics of the porous medium-namely, permeability and porosity affect the constants involved in the estimates. Finally, we provide numerical experiments that illustrate these dependencies and validate the theoretical results and motivations.
