The purpose is to review some of the recent developments in the mathematical modelling of microwave heating, including models that consider in isolation the heat equation with a nonlinear source term, in which case the electric-field amplitude is assumed constant, models involving the coupling between the electric-field amplitude and temperature including both steady-state solutions and the initial heating, and also models that control the process of thermal runaway. Numerical modelling of the microwave heating process is also briefly reviewed.
