Hello,

I am looking to model fluid flow over a bead that is coated with a porous layer. I am interested in looking at the displacement of that porous layer due to the force of the fluid flowing over it (at different inlet velocities, different porous layer thicknesses).

I originally used a Free and Porous Media Flow physics to model this, however I could not seem to post-process the displacement of the porous layer on the surface of the bead. I opened up a COMSOL tutorial that uses Poroelasticity as a physics, and that seems to be a little closer to what I am looking for.

Any suggestions on how I can model this in COMSOL?

Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!
