Hello,
I'm the beginner of Comsol Multiphysics. I wants to pass water though a PVC pipe. I have used a straight pipe using Turbulent Flow, k-ε. In geometry there are two domain one for water, another one for PVC pipe. Inlet velocity 0.1m/s. Meshing is okay. For better realization I want to attach my .mph file. But I can't . It shows file extension error. During compute in comsol 4.3b, It shows following error info:
Failed to evaluate variable.
- Variable: material.mu
- Geometry: 1
- Domain: 2
Failed to evaluate variable.
- Variable: mod1.spf.mu
- Defined as: material.mu
Failed to evaluate variable.
- Variable: mod1.spf.kinit
- Defined as: (((100*mod1.spf.mu)/(subst(mod1.spf.rho,mod1.spf.fp1.minput_pressure,unit_atm_cf)*mod1.spf.l_mix_lim))^2)
Failed to evaluate expression.
- Expression: mod1.spf.kinit
How can I get rid of these problems?

Hi,
Have you checked if the materials are applied to the right domains and if the Turbulent flow physics is referred only to the fluid domain?
