The problem is of 3-phase flow of water, oil and air. I used basic materials for this, and yet, I am getting this error, where muB is the Bulk viscosity of water:
"Failed to evaluate initial residual for segregated step 1. Undefined material property 'muB' required by Three-Phase Flow, Phase Field 1 (tfpf1)"
I checked the bulk viscosity definition for water, and COMSOL says here: Air and Water Properties that it is defined as: 2.79 * dynamic viscosity, internally. This dynamic viscosity in turn is just defined as: eta(T). Nothing more. There are lots of other variables defined as a relation of time. I have no idea what to do with this.
Here's an image of the material definition:

T is temperature, not time.
