Cooling and Solidification
In this model, continuous casting processing of a metal rod from melted to solid state is modeled.
The model describes the fluid and solid flow and heat transport, including the phase transfer from melt to solid. This phase change causes momentum changes, latent heat release and a variation in ph...

Droplet Breakup in a T-junction
Emulsions consist of small liquid droplets immersed in an immiscible liquid and widely occur in the production of food, cosmetics, fine chemicals, and pharmaceutical products. The quality of the product is typically dependent on the size of the droplets. Simulating these processes can help in optimi...

Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger
In this model, you will study a part of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger, where hot water enters from above. The cooling medium flows through the tubes that, in this model, impose a constant temperature at the walls. Furthermore, the tubes are assumed to be made of stainless steel and the heat flux i...

Free Convection in a Water Glass
This model treats the free convection and heat transfer of a glass of cold water heated to room temperature. Initially, the glass and the water are at 5 °C and are then put on a table in a room at 25 °C.
The nonisothermal flow is coupled to heat transfer using the Heat Transfer module.

RF-Heated Hot Wall Furnace for Semiconductor Processing
Furnace reactors are used in the fabrication of semiconductor industry to grow layers on the wafers. These can also be used for epitaxial growth, which is a key technology for fabrication of electrical devices. For the wide band gap silicon carbide substance growth takes place in graphite susceptor...

Fluid-Structure Interaction with Two Fluid Phases
The following example demonstrates techniques for modeling a fluid-structure interaction containing two fluid phases in COMSOL Multiphysics. It illustrates how a heavier fluid can induce movement in an obstacle using the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) technique along with the Two-Phase Flow, Ph...

Thermal Decomposition of a Chemical through a Parallel Plate Reactor
This model investigates the unimolecular decomposition of a chemical passing through a parallel plate reactor. The heat sensitive compound is present in a water solution.
After entering the reactor, the liquid first experiences expansion, due to a step-change in geometry at the bottom plate. Befo...

Nonisothermal Flow in a MEMS Heat Exchanger
This example concerns a stainless-steel MEMS heat exchanger, which you can find in lab-on-a-chip devices in biotechnology. Fluid flows through the tubes while a stainless steel heat sink/source surrounds the tubes.
The heat exchanger is modeled in 3D and accounts for heat transfer through both co...

Polymerization in a Multijet Tubular Reactor
This example considers condensation polymerization in a tubular reactor, where mixing in the reactor is achieved by impinging turbulent jets of reactants onto each other.
Turbulent flows involving rapid reaction kinetics are quite common in the production of polymers, and the complex interplay b...

Turbulent Residence Time
Large-scale reactors are usually made from stationary parts, often involving baffles. They make use of the baffled- imposed turbulence to provide mixing within the reactor. Yet, such reactors need to be optimized as too much baffling can create unnecessary turbulence and pressure drops. Too few can...
