general pde mode, spherical coordinates

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi, everybody
I want to solve a differential equation in spherical coordinates (just “R” component dependent)
By “General PDE mode” (comsol3.4).
But there is no default spherical coordinates in the comsol .
Now how can I resolve this problem?
The simulation geometry is as following:

Hi

define the coordinate yourself, see the KB (and other treads on the FORUM)

Good luck

thanks ivar

but i can not find the KB.

can i pre-arrenge the my equation and so, use the cartesian coordinates?

Hi

I am facing the same problem you had few years ago. Could you please tell me how you solved this issue?
I have to model mass transport in spherical coordinates.

I cannot access to KB that's why I am asking.

Thanks in advance

Hi

you can define the spherical coordinate system, andthen use the references of the "user coordinate" system "sys2..." to define or transform your variable (oth ways actually)

But COMSOL by default work in cartesian coordiantes so you need to map ack and perhaps, for the results forward ;)
