Multiphysics Modeling Using COMSOL: A First Principles Approach

COMSOL Multiphysics software is a finite element, partial differential equation tool for modeling of physical systems and devices. This book/DVD package for students, engineers, and scientists focuses on models in electrical, electronic, electromagnetic, optical, thermal physics, and biophysics areas. It introduces techniques for hands-on computer model building and solving with the COMSOL Multiphysics software, the AC/DC Module, the Heat Transfer Module, and the RF Module. The models presented are built within the context of the physical world and are explored in light of first principles analysis techniques. The DVD contains executable copies of each model and related animations. The book is for senior undergraduate and graduate students, and for scientists or engineers interested in exploring the behavior of different physical device structures through computer modeling.
