Evaporation Simulation in Capillary Tube

Job ID: 40290967

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

**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:

1. Animation showing dynamic meniscus evolution

* Time displayed
* Volume fraction of liquid shown during animation

2. Plot: Time vs liquid volume fraction

3. CSV files:

* Liquid volume vs time
* Evaporated mass vs time

4. Screen recording of full COMSOL simulation process

5. 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 a comparison of results.

Please only apply if you have strong experience in:

* COMSOL Multiphysics
* Multiphase flow
* Mass transfer modeling
* Moving boundary/interface problems

When bidding, please briefly explain:

* Which physics interfaces would you use
* How would you implement evaporation
* Your experience with two-phase flow simulations
