Erosion, FSI, Moving Mesh

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I want to simulate the erosion process via COMSOL. The riverbed can be eroded away due to the river flow. The change of the morphology of the bed can be modeled using the calculated velocity. Or, I can describe it this way, given a flow with velocity u, the bed surface will change due to the flow; the flow will be affected due to the bed surface change; (Interaction between the flow and the bed surface).

The question is can I use the moving mesh module or the ALE method in COMSOL to model the interaction between bed and flow?

Any comments or suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.
