Summary: The focus of our interest is the temporal development of the temperature distribution within a premature infant inside an incubator. With respect to the real world situation, there is the need to develop an unsteady mathematical model which is capable of handling time-dependent boundary conditions and where different models for medical aspects can be implemented. Within this work exactly this is done. Additionally, we briefly describe the necessary steps in order to prepare the application of a finite volume method.
