Ray Optics in COMSOL Multiphysics

Objective

This one-day course provides an introduction to solving ray tracing problems using COMSOL Multiphysics. The course covers ray tracing problems including:

  • Description of ray tracing methods
  • Dependence on physical properties of the EM source and propagation environment
  • EM field strength propagation and spatial distributions
  • Low frequency (radio and microwave) applications
  • High frequency electromagnetic (EM) field propagation models
  • Introductory and classical applications from geometric and ray optics
  • Technical approaches for importing and analyzing non-traditional model domains
  • Wide area geometries such large geophysical domains and city-level mapping scales
  • Best practices for obtaining high quality solutions

Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of COMSOL Multiphysics before attending.

Cost

The cost of this one-day course is $800.00 per person.

Course Content

Day 1, 8:30am - 5:00pm

In this one-day course, attendees will be led through use of COMSOL Multiphysics to perform ray optics analyses using COMSOL Multiphysics. The following items will be covered:

  • Fundamental governing equations of electromagnetic wave phenomena
  • Understanding of the simplifications of the electromagnetic wave propagation solution associated with the ray tracing methodology
  • Selection of boundary conditions
  • Best practices for selection of mesh refinement
  • Wave propagation under a variety of situations
  • Error developed in solution as a function of wavelength and geometric length scales
  • Practical application of ray tracing to electromagnetic wave propagation in an urban environment
