Burlington (July 2, 2010) -- COMSOL, Inc., the makers of COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software, today announces the release of the Plasma Module. Based on COMSOL Multiphysics, the Plasma Module brings easy-to-use tools for the study of low temperature plasmas. The module is designed for researchers, engineers and experimentalists in the field of plasma science to model non-equilibrium discharges which occur in a wide range of engineering disciplines. Target application areas utilizing plasmas include light sources, semiconductor processes, surface coating, and medical sterilization. The module is accompanied by a suite of tutorial and industrially relevant models which serve as both instructional examples and a foundation for future work.

“Simulation of plasmas is a daunting task that is now being addressed for the first time ever using true multiphysics technology,” comments Dan Smith, Lead Developer of the Plasma Module with COMSOL, Inc. “We leverage this technology in the Plasma Module to solve the complex interaction between the electromagnetic fields and charged particles which collectively constitutes plasma. Users will be able to turn to simulation for a wide range of plasma applications that will reduce the need for costly experiments and increase productivity. ”
