We consider an immersed finite element method for solving one dimensional Pennes bioheat transfer equation with discontinuous coefficients and nonhomogenous flux jump condition. Convergence properties of the semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes are investigated in the $L^{2}$ and energy norms. By using the computed solution from the immerse finite element method, an inexpensive and effective flux recovery technique is employed to approximate flux over the whole domain. Optimal order convergence is proved for the immersed finite element approximation and its flux. Results of the simulation confirm the convergence analysis.
Keywords: superconvergence, immersed interface method, immersed finite element method, error analysis., Flux recovery.
