Designing an Electrostatic Sensor with COMSOL

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on designing an electrostatic sensor using COMSOL, specifically utilizing impedance spectroscopy principles. The sensor features four electrodes and aims to measure distance and thickness of obstacles by analyzing changes in capacitive impedance within the electrostatic field. Participants suggest considering stationary conditions and recommend using the DC or electrostatics mode in COMSOL for accurate modeling.

Hi All,

I am pretty new to COMSOL. I want design model of a sensor with four electrode. This sensor mainly based on impedance spectroscopy principle. The model should measure the distance and thickness of the obstacle due to change in capacitive impedance of electrostatic field between the dipoles.

Can anybody help regarding this, how to start in which mode of electromagnetics?

Is the problem stationary (or time-independent enough)? Would think conductive media DC or electrostatics. I'm going to have to refresh myself concerning impedance spectroscopy principle.
