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
