Simulation of effect of heated resistance on temperature distribution in laminar flow

I'm new to Comsol and I'm trying to simulate the effect of a metal heater resistance (gold) on a laminar cooling flow (water). I would like to get the stationary temperature distribution in the fluid due to the heating effect of the gold resistance.…

How I could make a temperature sweep in comsol?

I make a structure using Comsol then I want to make this structure subjected to a temperature variation ( T(begain)=25C then a temperature ramp (100 C/min) till T=250C and it lasts for 30 min then another temperature ramp (-100 C/min) till T=25C…

using stationary solution as the initial conditions in time dependent model

Is there a way to use the stationary solution obtained in Comsol 4.2 as the initial conditions in a time dependent model? I want to conduct a simulation to find a solution (u) and its first derivative (ux) using a 3D stationary model. Save this…

Comsol-Adding "eps" to avoid division by zero

I am confused by not being able to solve this equation in Comsol This is equation I mention: 1-2*sqrt(Lf/pi)*integrate((1)/sqrt(Lf^2-x^2)*(1+0.3*(1-x/Lf)/(1+Lf/0.1)),x,0,Lf) If I write it in ODE and run, Comsol will notice message error (division…

Why did I get a different result-plot between the two solutions?

> Hi, I'm using a sample problem to learn the comsol. I would like to let my case problem (left) 3D plot, be the same as the tutorial plot (right). My problem is that, instead of the right figure plot (that shows the resin-red color traveling from…

Unsupported operation on virtual geometry while extruding 2D geometry to 3D geometry in COMSOL 5.2a

I have created a 2D waveguide system, and now I've realized that I need to modify the height of the waveguide as well. To achieve this, I attempted to extrude the existing 2D system into a 3D shape. However, I encountered an error message stating…

how to show such an under-tension geometry using the initial radiuses of the leg and the fabric in COMSOL?

I am trying to model a leg wearing a sock. I want to simulate it as a cylinder (the leg) surrounded by another cylinder (the fabric) in contact with it. Before wearing the sock, its redius is smaller than the leg and after wearing, it increases…

fluid dynamics and comsol alternatives

I'm trying to do simulation in fluid-dynamics, particularly for free convection. I used to know comsol-multiphysics, but now I no longer have access. Are there comparable packages, if possible octave-compatible? Of course I also used the Google…
