Busbar with Surface-to-Surface Radiation
Application ID: 76141
This model computes an electromagnetic-heated busbar with surface-to-surface radiation and compares the results with the busbar model without radiation.
The surface emissivity of copper is varied between 0.1 (blank material), 0.3 (partially oxidized), and 0.7 (heavily oxidized).
A more detailed description of this model can be found in the blog post: The Importance of Thermal Radiation in Your Models.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Tabella delle Funzionalità and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
