Hello Everyone

I'm doing my thesis paper , the title of my thesis is optimization of novel solar concentration system . I'm a new user for comsol , and actually I need a strong support for working on it. I have to design the system , and study the optimum orientation and the direcrtion of the ray's which wil provide us the maximum power. So, from where do I have to start and how can I build the system and study it ??

Appreciate your support

It isn't obvious to me that Comsol Multiphysics is the best tool for your task. Other people report using Monte-Carlo ray-tracing methods to do this kind of work. If you haven't already read the literature about using those methods, you probably should. Good luck.

Hello Baraah,

This blog and the links at the end of it, as well as this model can get you started on modeling a solar concentration system with the Ray Optics Module.

Best,

Jeff
