COMSOL version 5.4 can calculate the diffusion-induced stress of particles. Does hydrostatic pressure take into account in the model? Because chemical potential is the driving force of diffusion, is the hydrostatic pressure considered in the model?

Hydrostatic pressure is mechanical, it does not rise from the chemical potential of the species. Hence, you have to add it in the model as the volume force.
