AI Thread Summary
Creating two coils with different axes in COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5 requires a full 3D simulation, as the 2D axisymmetric mode only supports coils aligned along the same axis. Additionally, when modeling low Reynolds number flow of liquid past a sphere near a sliding wall, the influence of the cube's walls becomes significant, particularly as the sphere approaches the center. To mitigate the effects of the walls on drag calculations, users are exploring methods to simulate an infinite domain, such as applying "no viscous forces" boundary conditions on the walls. This approach aims to minimize the impact of the cube's boundaries on the flow dynamics.

Hi,

I am trying to create two coils with different axes on Comsol Multiphysics 3.5. I use the 2D axisymetric mode but it allows to create only coils with the same axe.

Can somebody help me ?

Thanks in advance.

If you need the two coils to be on separate central axes, then you'll have to use a full 3D simulation.
 
I'm modelling low Re flow of liquid past a sphere close to a sliding wall with COMSOL. I'm trying to extract the drag dependence on distance from the wall.

Problem: The other walls of cube are causing noticeable effects on drag (even though Cube length = O(10*r)) as I get closer to the centre of the cube. I have an inlet on the top of the cube, an outlet on the bottom and the other four walls are sliding with unit velocity -- there is no slip on the surface of the sphere.

Question: Does anyone have any ideas how to trick COMSOL into believing there's an infinite domain? I was thinking about maybe some sort of "no viscous forces" boundary on the three other walls or something; any thoughts?

Cheers,
