Deuflhard, Multiscale analysis for the bio-heat transfer equation–the nonisolated case, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 14(11) (2004), pp. 1621–1634], homogenization techniques are applied to derive an anisotropic variant of the bio-heat transfer equation as asymptotic result of boundary value problems providing a microscopic description for microvascular tissue. In view of a future application on treatment planning in hyperthermia, we investigate here the homogenization limit for a coupling model, which takes additionally into account the influence of convective heat transfer in medium-size blood vessels. This leads to second-order elliptic boundary value problems with non-local boundary conditions on parts of the boundary. Moreover, we present asymptotic estimates for first-order correctors.
