COMSOL Multiphysics Simulation – Evaporation & Dynamic Meniscus Formation in Capillary Tube

Job ID: 40241447

Budget: €30 – €250 EUR

Project Title:
COMSOL Multiphysics Simulation – Evaporation & Dynamic Meniscus Formation in Capillary Tube

Project Description:

I am looking for a COMSOL expert (chemical engineer / physicist) to simulate evaporation of liquid inside a vertical capillary tube using COMSOL Multiphysics (latest version preferred).

Model Requirements:

2D transient model

Geometry: Rectangle (0.025 mm width × 0.1 mm height)

Vertical capillary tube

Initially fully filled with water

Room temperature conditions

Evaporation driven by mass transfer (NOT temperature gradient)

Outlet atmospheric humidity ≈ 50%

Contact angle must form naturally (not fixed manually)

Physics Expectations:

Proper two-phase flow modeling (Level Set or Phase Field preferred)

Surface tension effects included

Transient moving interface (meniscus evolution)

Realistic mass transfer modeling for evaporation

Simplified or quasi-static approaches will not be accepted.

Expected Deliverables:

Animation showing dynamic meniscus evolution

Time displayed

Volume fraction of liquid shown during animation

Plot: Time vs liquid volume fraction

CSV files:

Liquid volume vs time

Evaporated mass vs time

Screen recording of full COMSOL simulation process

Explanation document:

Physics used

Parameters selected

Reasoning behind modeling choices

Part 2 Extension:

Repeat the simulation replacing water with SDS solution at:

0.1 wt%

0.3 wt%

Including comparison of results.

Please only apply if you have strong experience in:

COMSOL Multiphysics

Multiphase flow

Mass transfer modeling

Moving boundary/interface problems
