Figure 8

(a), (b), (c) and (d) show the temperature distributions at the x = 42 mm, the front boundary plane (the level 2 branching vessel plane), for low perfusion rates of 0.5, 0.1, 0.05 and 0.01 kg· m^-3 s^-1 , respectively. (e), (f), (g) and (h) show their optimized absorbed power distributions, respectively. From low to high levels, the temperature (C) 13-level set is {37, 37.5, 38, 38.5, 39, 39.5, 40, 40.5, 41, 41.5, 42, 42.5 and 43} and the power (Wm^-3) 15-level set is {3.0e4, 2.3e5, 4.3e5, 6.3e5, 8.3e5, 1.0e6, 1.2e6, 1.4e6, 1.6e6, 1.8e6, 2.0e6, 2.2e6, 2.4e6, 2.6e6 and 2.8e6}.
