I am trying to model the effect of two metals that are in contact with a heat source at one end and isolated from each other at the other end. It should be similar to the Seebeck effect in thermocouples. I am trying to obtain the voltage difference produced between the two metals when they both come in contact with a heat source.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to obtain this?
The only info I found was that it is necesary to use the PDE Application Mode.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,

Any success?
I'm dealing with almost same problem that I need to simulate. If you already found out how to do it, please let me know.

Sincerely,

The thermoelectric effect coupling between the electric currents equation and the heat transfer in solids equation is available in the Heat Transfer Module, see www.comsol.com/heat-transfer-module .
You will find a couple of tutorials here:
