numerical oscillation in modelling corona discharge with coefficient form PDEs and Electrostatic

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,everyone
I,m working on modelling corona discharge in air with coefficient form PDEs and Electrostatics interface. I'm encountering the problem of numerical oscillation in the simulation area (unexpected negative values show up), but the solver does not give error massage about convergence. Did anybody encounter the same problem? The possible reason for it is that the mesh is not fine enough. I have tried to make the mesh finer, but the problems remain. I want to know whether there are more reasons for the problems. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Fucheng - I'm also working with ESPs. Have you gotten any help with the oscillation problem you described? Either from someone in this forum or from COMSOL directly?
