Dear Nagi,
Thanks a lot for your insights. I was actually able to solve the 2d problem without the use of FSI by solving two separate problems with and without rotation and simply adding them up as it is creeping flow conditions. Now I am trying to solve the problem in 3d but i am running into one small problem. Is there any way to rotate a solid sphere at a given angular velocity in comsol ??? I am trying to use the rotating machinery module but once again I am not quite sure if its the right way, I do feel I could solve this without the module, just not getting the right BC on the surface of the spheres.
Once again, very grateful for your replies. They have helped a lot in getting to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Seemit
