Hi
the best reference for me is the modelling.pdf doc, there are a few explicit examples therein too (v3.5a), this is an important but delicate chapter (i.e. weak, ideal versus non-ideal)
Now concerning your ALE and harmonic, I suppose there is no harmonic development there because ALE is first of all used for flow and not oscillatory analysis.
Basically the difference between transient (time variable) and harmonic (frequency e xpansion) is that the latter is in the Fourier space and you give the PSD (power spetral density) frequency response of your signal instead of the time responses.
If you take a structural model an you look at the variables and equations that COMSOL uses when you change your physics from transient to harmonic and then to static (Physics Equations Subdomain) you see better what COMSOl is doing internally.
Hope this helps
(for a complex subject, absolutely worth studying in details, this is the specific strength of COMSOL)
