How to set different mesh size on one object and track the velocity of a moving boundary

Hello All,

New to COMSOL and my understanding of the software is still in a very basic stage.

The problem I am trying to simulate is solidification and heat transfer at simplified 2-D level. There is a hot melt pool in the center of a thin metal film and the size of the melt pool changes as time goes by.

My questions are:

1. How to set different mesh size within one object?


2. How can I track the velocity (instant and average) of the moving boundary of the melt pool?

Thanks in advance
