Mass Transfer from a Thin Domain
Application ID: 102931
This model demonstrates how mass transfer out from a thin domain can be approximated with a 2D model using the Out-of-Plane Flux feature. To check the validity of the 2D approximation, the equivalent 3D model is also solved. Additionally, this model illustrates how the out-of-plane thickness affects the relative error of the 2D approximation, and by how much the computational time can be decreased.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
- COMSOL Multiphysics® and
- either the CFD Module, or Microfluidics Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
