Star-Shaped Microchannel
Application ID: 480
This model presents a time-dependent study of a microchannel that is used to infuse and flush another piece of equipment with a fluid.
The pressure at the five inlets varies sinusoidally as functions of time, and the velocity vector at the outlet is studied.
The model uses an extruded prism mesh, which reduces the computational time and memory requirements.
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:
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.
