Electric Discharge Modeling in COMSOL Multiphysics 6.3

The Electric Discharge Module, an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software, is used to understand, analyze, and predict the behavior of electric discharges in gases, liquids, and solid dielectrics. This includes the analysis of streamer, corona, dielectric barrier, and arc discharges. Applications of the Electric Discharge Module range from consumer electronics to high-voltage power system components. With its capabilities for simulating lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses, electrostatic discharges, and other related events, the module serves as an important tool for product development, helping to reduce costs associated with experimental testing and prototyping.
