model shrinkage of meat due to dehydration

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I'd like to model shrinkage of meat due to dehydration induced from a heat source on the inside of the structure. Solving for water concentration and contraction relative to temp/time. Ideally a moving mesh to demonstrate pre and post dehydration.

I'd like some ideas regarding the physics choices or suggestions of COMSOL gallery cases that might get me moving in the right direction

Hi,

You can start by checking out this example:

"MEMS Pressure Sensor Drift due to Hygroscopic Swelling"

www.comsol.com/model/mems-pressure-sensor-drift-due-to-hygroscopic-swelling-21021

I guess the crucial point here is what material model to use for structural response of the meat.

Regards,
Henrik
