In this paper, we report on a 2D axissymmetric numerical model of the streamer-type discharge process in atmospheric air, as it can be implemented into COMSOL Multiphysics. The charge conserving Boltzmann drift-diffusion equations are solved in a logarithmic representation for improved numerical stability, whilst reducing the need for artificial diffusion terms. A charge density adaptive mesh i...

The accurate estimate of values of electromagnetic parameters are essential to determine the final circuit speeds and functionality for designing of high-performance integrated circuits and integrated circuits packaging. In this paper, the quasi-TEM analyses of symmetrical triple coupled Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) transmission lines and multilayer CPW broadside coupled-line balun are successfully...

In this paper 3D electro-thermal FE Model using COMSOL Multiphysics software of power vertical MOSFET used in the automotive industry is presented. This model is used to analyze the effects of bonding wire lift off defect and to study the influence of metallization thickness and number of bonding wires on the electrical and thermal behavior of the power device. The maximum temperature enables t...

A novel method for groundwater lowering, which can be applied at construction sites, for aquifer remediation measures or in open mining, is proposed. In contrast to conventional techniques, dewatering is achieved without water conveyance. In this paper the physical concept of the new technology, referred as single borehole pump & inject, is modeled using COMSOL Multiphysics. Two and three dimen...

It is explained how FEMLAB / COMSOL Multiphysics can be configured to calculate, the frequencies, electromagneticfield patterns, mode volumes, filling factors, radiation losses ... of the whispering-gallery modes of axisymmetric microresonators. The method exploits COMSOL’s ability to accept the definition of solutions to Maxwells equations in so-called ‘weak form’. As no transverse approximati...

A balanced square patch antenna model has been constructed using FEM (Finite Element Method) with COMSOL multiphysics environment. A parametric analysis is carried out to analzse the performance of the proposed antenna on the basis of Antenna impedance, Radiation frequency and Radiation patt...

In systems and control theory dynamical systems described by partial differential equations are known as distributed parameter systems. For modelling and dynamical analysis of distributed parameter systems wide possibilities are offered by virtual software environments as ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, ProCAST, MODFLOW, based on numerical solution of sets of partial differential equations by finit...

Paper presents a numerical analysis of quantum states and probability ψψ* function of a Si/SiO2 nanostructure in varying electrostatic field. The position of probability function peak xp is traced and the bias, under which it abandons the structure (emission or discharging bias), is determined. Variations of the ground state energy with the bias is also examined. The Poisson Schrödinger model o...

The paper presents noise reduction (NR) of spiral ducts as a result of computational modeling of acoustic wave propagation. Three-dimensional models were created with the finite element method in COMSOL Multiphysics version 3.3. Nine models of spiral ducts with 1-9 spiral leads were considered. Time-harmonic analysis was used to predict NR, which was shown in spectral and interval frequency ban...
