Induced current problem in COMSOL

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on an issue encountered in COMSOL's ac-dc module regarding the calculation of magnetic fields generated by a dipole electrode pair. The user, Emin, reports that the total current density approaches zero due to the induced current density in the induction currents module counteracting the external current density (Jx_emqvw) provided. Emin has previously utilized the quasi-static electromagnetic module but found similar results, indicating that the induced current density is significantly affecting the magnetic flux calculations, leading to negligible values at the boundaries.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with COMSOL Multiphysics, specifically the ac-dc module.
  • Understanding of electromagnetic theory, particularly induced currents and magnetic fields.
  • Knowledge of boundary conditions in electromagnetic simulations, including magnetic insulation and continuity.
  • Experience with current density concepts in electromagnetic modeling.
NEXT STEPS
  • Investigate the settings for the induction currents module in COMSOL to control induced current density.
  • Explore the effects of different boundary conditions on magnetic flux calculations in COMSOL.
  • Learn about the implementation of infinite elements in electromagnetic simulations to improve accuracy.
  • Review COMSOL documentation on coupling electric and magnetic modules for better integration.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on COMSOL's ac-dc module and I'm trying to find the magnetic field which is created by an electrode pair (dipole). The working environment of the pair has nonzero conductivity and relative permittivity.

I first found the current density between the electrodes in the 3D electric module and I tried to take the current density value (ie Jx_emqvw) as the external surce of the induction (magnetic) module. Then I started the solver for both electric and magnetic module. However, total current density becomes nearly zero everytime because the induction currents(magnetic) module creates an induced current density equal to the external current density entered by me (ie Jx_emqvw).

What can I do to prevent COMSOL from creating an induced current density?

I would be very glad for your answers.

Regards,

Emin

I did use the quasi static electromagnetic module before I tried this, and all the magnetic flux is created at the boundary. I thought that it is not much sense and I decided to try both modules separately.

Also, I tried two boundaries which I take the smaller one as continuity and the larger one as magnetic insulation with infinite elements. So, the results was nearly the same, very small magnetix flux and at the boundaries.

And I forgot to mention, I thought the induced current that I found in the induction currents module was the reason for creating a very small (~1e-12 and 1e-14) magnetix flux by cancelling the external current density I have entered (ie Jx_emqvw).
