Comsol uses a numerical method called Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) to handle moving boundaries with loss of mass. This method allows the boundary to move and deform while also tracking the changes in mass.
Yes, Comsol has been extensively validated and is known for its high accuracy in simulating systems with moving boundaries and mass loss. However, the accuracy of the simulation also depends on the input parameters and assumptions made in the model.
Comsol uses the ALE method to track the changes in mass and adjust the boundary accordingly. It also allows for the user to specify the type of mass loss, such as diffusion or evaporation, and the corresponding equations are incorporated into the simulation.
While Comsol is known for its accuracy, it is important to note that there may be limitations in simulating complex systems with multiple moving boundaries and mass loss mechanisms. It is always recommended to carefully validate and verify the results of any simulation.
Yes, Comsol has the capability to incorporate the effects of mass loss on other parameters such as temperature, concentration, and flow. This allows for a more comprehensive analysis of the system and its behavior under changing boundary conditions.
