Coupling to Other Physics Interfaces
Often, you are simulating applications that couple fluid flow to another type of phenomenon described in another physics interface. Although this is not often another type of flow, it can still involve physics interfaces supported in the CFD Module or in the COMSOL Multiphysics base package. This typically occurs in cases where applications include chemical reactions and mass transport, as included in Chemical Species Transport Interfaces, or energy transport, found in the Heat Transfer and Nonisothermal Flow Interfaces chapter.
More extensive descriptions of heat transfer, such as those involving radiation, can be found in the Heat Transfer Module, while tools for modeling chemical reactions and mass transport are available in the Chemical Reaction Engineering Module.
