Melt pool of a crater on metal

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I am trying to solve a problem where a gaussian heat flux is imposed on the top surface of a 2D rectangular metal domain and interested in finding out the amount of molten metal and the movement of free surface that forms the shape of a crater.

I am using Heat transfer in fluid model along with Laminar Two phase flow, Moving mesh(tpfmm) in COMSOL 4.2 but the solution is having convergence problems. I wish to add body forces such as Lorentz force in the model later on.

Please let me know how I can make the solution converge. Model file is attached below.

Thanks,

Soham
