I am currently simulating a model in which the two carrier phases involved are water and toluene and the diffusing components are acetone and methyl isopropyl ketone (MIPK). This problem is to be solved using the Stefan-Maxwell equations together with the Navier-Stokes equations.

I have the inlet composition and the velocity conditions. I am in a fix as to which model is to be used for this. I have used the pde mode general form for Stefan-Maxwell equations and single phase Incompressible flow model for Navier-Stokes (each phase). I am attaching the model herewith. I am getting some results, but when I change the channel dimensions, the profiles of concentration and velocity do not change.

Hi,

I sorted it out somehow. I think the trick is to stick to the general mode pde form for more flexibility. Yet, I am not 100 % sure whether I have applied all the boundary conditions correctly. However, COMSOL exhibited convergence and results were reasonable enough.

Hi,

I used the PDE general mode (mathematics).

Hi, do you know how to use multiphysics to solve the multiphase flow?
