Electric Shielding
Many applications involve simulating the electromagnetic behavior of relatively thin material in voluminous domains. To save computer memory and processing time, the thin materials can be treated differently by resolving them with 3D meshes. Here, the modeling domain is a box filled ... Read More
Thin Low Permittivity Gap Comparison
The thin low permittivity gap boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material with low relative permittivity compared to its surroundings. This boundary condition is available for electrostatic field modeling. This example compares the thin low permittivity gap ... Read More
Comparison of Formulations for RF Heating
This model compares the results of five different formulations and approaches to solving an RF heating problem consisting of a coaxial cable inserted into a sample of lossy dielectric material. Results show that the different formulations agree over a wide frequency band. To learn more ... Read More
Electric Field Between Concentric Cylinders
This introduction model creates a simple model of the electrostatics problem with two concentric cylinders of infinite length, which is commonly found in textbooks. Since there is an analytical solution to this problem, the model can be used to compare theory with numerical results from ... Read More
Parameter Optimization of an Electric Motor
This example demonstrates how to use parameter optimization to identify the optimal position and shape of the permanent magnets in an electric motor. The torque is used as objective functions, but different designs are found depending on whether the minimum or average torque are ... Read More
Contact Impedance Comparison
The contact impedance boundary condition is meant to approximate a thin layer of material that impedes the flow of current normal to the boundary, but does not introduce any additional conduction path tangential to the boundary. This example compares the contact impedance boundary ... Read More
Hartmann Flow in Liquid Metal Blanket with Heat Transfer
In nuclear fusion reactors, the conducting fluid, such as the fusion plasma and the liquid metal in the reactor blanket, will interact with the background magnetic field. This phenomenon is referred to as magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). The electromagnetic field and fluid flow are fully ... Read More
Capacitance Matrix of Two Spheres
This model compares the numerical and analytical solutions for the capacitance matrix of two non-concentric spheres. It also illustrates the relation between the Maxwell capacitance matrix and the mutual capacitance matrix. Learn more about this model in the blog post "How to Calculate ... Read More
Geometry optimization of a 3D complex-shaped coil for induction heating
The model features the optimization of the geometry of a complex-shaped coil similar to those for induction heating applications. The geometry if fully built and parametrized in COMSOL Multiphysics (taking advantage of Geometry Parts; geometrical construction requires Design Module). The ... Read More
