Abstract

In this article, a fitted finite element method is proposed and analyzed for non-Fourier bio heat transfer model in multi-layered media. Specifically, we employ the Maxwell–Cattaneo equation on the physical media which has a discontinuous coefficients. Convergence properties of the semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes are investigated in the \(L^2\) norm. Optimal a priori error estimates for both the schemes are proved. Numerical experiment is conducted to confirm the theoretical findings.
