Overview of the User’s Guide
The Pipe Flow Module User’s Guide gets you started with modeling using COMSOL Multiphysics. The information in this guide is specific to this module. Instructions how to use COMSOL in general are included with the COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual.
As detailed in the section Where Do I Access the Documentation and Application Libraries? this information can also be searched from the COMSOL Multiphysics software Help menu.
The Fluid Flow Branch
The Fluid Flow Interfaces chapter describes the Pipe Flow interface and the Nonisothermal Pipe Flow interface including the underlying theory for these physics interfaces.
The Heat Transfer Branch
The Heat Transfer Interfaces chapter describes the Heat Transfer in Pipes interface and the underlying theory for the physics interface.
The Chemical Species Transport Branch
The Chemical Species Transport Interfaces chapter describes the Transport of Diluted Species in Pipes and the Reacting Pipe Flow interfaces and the underlying theory.
The Acoustics Branch
The Acoustics Interfaces chapter describes the Pipe Acoustics, Transient interface and its theory.
THE STRUCTURAL MECHANICS BRANCH
The Pipe Mechanics chapter describes the Pipe Mechanics interface.
THE MULTIPHYSICS COUPLINGS
The Multiphysics Couplings chapter describes the multiphysics couplings available with the Pipe Flow Module. These are the built-in conditions that couple physics together.
