Simulations of electromagnetic exposure system for irradiation of biological cultures: comparison of CST Studio Suite and COMSOL Multiphysics

The proposed paper deals with the comparison of simulation results of an exposure system intended for irradiating biological cells performed using two commercially available simulation software – CST Studio Suite and COMSOL Multiphysics. The purpose is to compare the results of numerical simulations of the identical model with respect to the magnetic flux density distribution and its homogeneity in a defined area of interest. The results clearly show that the rms values of the magnetic flux density obtained from both simulation programs differed at most at the level of $101 \mu \mathrm{T}$, which represents a difference of 4.17% of the target value $\mathrm{B} =2.4$ mT.
