Viscoelasticity + thermal expansion

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, Does anybody know if it is possible to couple thermal expansion not to elastic solid, but to a viscoelasticity? If it is, what will be the equation system that COMSOL is solving (i.e., how precisely it will add expansion to the viscoelastic model)? I need to model a multiphase behavior of viscoelastic fluids, that has different Young moduli, densities etc. , and expanding at different rates. For simplicity, temperature is the same everywhere (but varying with the time). Thank you!
