The electrical effects can be written by two magnitudes the field and the electrostatic potential, for the determination of the distribution of the field and the electric potential along the leakage distance of the polluted insulator, the comsol multiphysics software based on the finite element method will be used. The objective of this paper is the modeling electric field and potential distribution in Two Dimensions by the Finite Element Method on a model of insulator simulating the 1512L outdoor insulator used by the Algerian company of electricity and gas (SONELGAZ). This model is under different conductivity, applied voltage, position of clean layer and width of clean layer. The computer simulations are carried out by using the COMSOL multiphysics software. This paper describes how Comsol Multiphysics have been used for modeling of the insulator using electrostatic 2D simulations in the AC/DC module. Numerical results showed a good agreement.

The present numerical work describes the simulation and analysis of the absorptance and absorption efficiency of a solar cell, where the effect of utilizing photonic crystals as an active material of the cell was studied. The study was performed by numerical simulations using a computational code based on the Finite Element Method [1]. The results were obtained for photonic crystals with periodicity in both one and two dimensions [2]. In the first one, periodicity, thickness of the active material, and distance with respect to the electrode for hole collection were varied, and two organic materials for the active zone were tested, P3HT:PCBM and TDPT:PCBM. In the case of crystals with periodicity in two dimensions, only the period in one of the two dimensions was varied, based on the cell with the highest efficiency of absorption proposed for cells with periodic photonic crystals in one dimension. All simulations were obtained for waves with TM polarization, zero angle of incidence and wavelengths between 400 and 700 nm.

In this paper the finite element method (FEM) is used to solve three problems that are of the paramount importance in Chemical Engineering. The first problem is related with the bidimensional flow of an ideal fluid around a cylindrical body, and the objective is to determine the velocity distribution of the flow. To model the flow, the potential formulation is used to obtain an analytical solution, and then, the approximated solution obtained by using FEM is compared with the analytical solution. From this comparison, it is deduced that both solutions have a good agreement. The second problem is the calculation of the temperature profile in a two-dimensional body with specified boundary conditions. This problem is modeled by the two-dimensional Laplace equation, and from the problem data and using variables separation, an analytical solution was obtained. Then, FEM was used to obtain an approximate solution and compared with analytical ones. Besides, from this comparison, it is concluded that both solutions agree. Finally, in the third problem the temperature distribution in a bidimensional body with internal heat generation is studied. This problem is modeled by Poisson equation in two dimensions, but due to the boundary conditions and the complications that arise by adding some heat sources in the final FEM discretization, the problem does not have an analytical solution. However, the analysis of FEM solution indicates that this solution is correct.
