Simulating Electrical Breakdowns with COMSOL Multiphysics Software
Upcoming Webinar: Exploring Electric Discharge Phenomena with COMSOL's Electric Discharge Module
On September 25, 2025, COMSOL, Inc. is hosting a webinar to delve into the fascinating world of electric discharge phenomena. This event is open to those who have already registered (provided link to log in).
The webinar will be presented by Ping Chu, a senior applications engineer specializing in electromagnetics and optics at COMSOL, Inc. The session will offer a comprehensive introduction to the Electric Discharge Module, a specialized add-on product within COMSOL Multiphysics®.
This module is designed for simulating electric discharge phenomena such as arcs and sparks, providing engineers and researchers with the ability to model electrical breakdown and related plasma and thermal processes in gases and solids. These simulations are crucial for understanding and designing systems involving electric discharges.
The Electric Discharge Module finds applications in various product development areas, including electrical discharge machining (EDM) and electrochemical machining (ECM), breakdown and insulation analysis in electrical devices, plasma technology applications, and high-voltage engineering and safety analysis.
The webinar will cover various applications that can be modeled and the specialized functionality that can aid in product development. For instance, during product development, it is advantageous to simulate electrostatic discharges (ESD) to mitigate harmful effects such as unintended arcing and electric discharge. Additionally, simulating lightning-induced electromagnetic pulses is part of the discussion.
The Electric Discharge Module integrates seamlessly with other COMSOL products for comprehensive multiphysics analyses. This means that engineers can simulate complex interactions of electric fields, charged particles, and heat transfer that occur during discharge events, supporting the optimized design and troubleshooting of components and devices reliant on or affected by electrical discharges.
The webinar will provide a valuable opportunity to learn about the Electric Discharge Module's capabilities and how it can be used to improve product development in various industries, such as consumer electronics, medical devices, and high-voltage power systems.
The event starts at 2:00 PM ET / 1:00 PM CT / 11:00 AM PT / 7:00 PM GMT and is scheduled to last for one hour. Other related events will also be simulated during the event. Don't miss this chance to expand your knowledge and enhance your product development skills!
Science plays a crucial role in the upcoming webinar, as it explores medical-conditions related to electric discharge phenomena. To achieve this, the webinar will examine data-and-cloud-computing techniques for simulating electric discharge events using technology like COMSOL's Electric Discharge Module.
