Hi, I am a Student and don't have much experience with COMSOL.

I want to simulate the pressure and stress on a pipe (like a very tiny syringe needle). The pipe itself is very thin and the material has to be gold. The fluid (Propanol - laminar) comes with high pressure and has got a diffrent temperature than the pipe.

I tried some tutorials, but haven't found any information about the effect the fluid-flow has on the pipe. I hope someone can give me an idea how getting started.

Best regards Eddy

Hello Eddy,

if you want to compute the pipe's mechanical stress you will need to include fluid-structure coupling. See e.g. https://www.comsol.de/blogs/simulating-fluid-structure-interaction-in-a-ball-check-valve/ and the links therein.

If you want to study the resulting heat distribution you will need to couple the flow with a heat transfer interface. See e.g. https://www.comsol.de/blogs/finding-the-ideal-thickness-for-the-insulation-of-a-pipeline/

If you are interested in Fluid Structure Interaction modeling with COMSOL, an additional resource is this video.

Best regards,
