Evaporation of solvent in a droplet on a surface

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I would like to simulate the evaporation of solvent in a droplet placed on a surface.

The liquid of the droplet is initially 90% solvent and 10% particles. I would like to model evaporation of the solvent and the decrease in droplet volume. Furthermore, investigate the effect of the convection inside the bubble as the solvent is evaporating and see how the particles are redistributed inside the droplet.

I have some experience using comsol, but I have very little clue of how to set up a simulation like this

So, does anyone have any hints or usefull models? Input is really appreciated
