Summary: The aim of this paper is to present some computational aspects in numerical simulation of the human skin tissue. A multi-layered model is considered for the skin tissue with emphasis on the mathematical modelling and numerical models in space 2D and 3D (for axisymmetric fields). A coupled model involves an interdisciplinary study including physiology, biology, neurology, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and computeraided analysis of the coupled phenomena. We limit our study to some particular cases with emphasis on the numerical simulation of the heat transfer in the skin and its thermomechanical behaviour.
