Material Distribution Generation (geometry)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Dear colleagues,

I am modeling Oxygen reduction on MIEC (Mixed Ionic and Electronic Conducting) cathodes for SOFCs (Solid Oxide Fuel Cells). I started with a simple 3D geometry that model the processes in a dense non porous MIEC cathode material. The model is running very perfectly.

Now I need to apply the model to a more realistic porous 3D cathode material. To do this, I realize I need to create a new geometry of the cathode with randomly distributed percolating pores and the MIEC material. I just cant figure out how to go about creating such geometry.

Similar work has been done by Rüger et al 2007: "3D-Microstructure Modeling and Performance Evaluation for SOFC MIEC Cathodes" (Excerpts from the Proceedings of the COMSOL Users Conference 2007, Grenoble). Attached to this post is a copy of that paper, as a .pdf file. Figure 2 on page 4 of that paper is exactly the geometry that I wish to generate using COMSOL Multiphysics.

Please, could someone give me tips on how to generate such geometry?

Best Regards

Emile Tabu OJONG

how about using block geometry and array icon?
