Modelling small fibres

Dear COMSOL users, I am trying to model carbon nanotubes (CNTs) inside an Epoxy and I encountered a few problems, does anyone have a solution? The model is an Epoxy block with randomly dispersed CNTs...

Re: Modelling small fibres

Dear Rutger, I see your point. In your model, only the domain condition (current conservation) is used. The tubes (the edges) will need an additional condition. In principle, this would go as follows:...

Re: Modelling small fibres

If the conductivity of your fibres is orders of magnitude larger than the conductivity of the epoxy you can assume constant potential throughout every single fibre. Or it would be more correct to say...

Re: Modelling small fibres

Indeed, we've tried that as well. If I'm not mistaken, that implementation too resulted in singular behaviour. So when you follow the equipotential implementation, please check for mesh convergence! By...

Re: Modelling small fibres

Hi Durk, I am distributing CNT's inside a polymer, I solved the problems for meshing but i want to know "how to input tunneling properties between CNT's and tunneling between CNT's and my terminals". I...

Re: Modelling small fibres

Dear Laveen, Please take into consideration the electric currents interface solves an ordinary diffusion equation (Poisson's equation or "heat" equation), for current conservation. It treats the medium...

Re: Modelling small fibres

Thanks Durk. I will check with moving mesh and also check with the example.. Thanks for your valauble suggestion. Regards, Laveen Dear Laveen, Please take into consideration the electric currents...
