I want to re-create this data based on the paper "Continuous Inertial Focusing and Separation of Particle by Shape". The purpose it is to find the equilibrium position for different shape particle in inertial focusing inside the microchannel. In addition, it can be add as an rotation object and static object (not rotating). What kind of COMSOL module I should look for to solve this ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Microfluidics Module: This module includes tools for simulating microchannel flows, including the physics of particle motion in fluids. It can handle both the inertial effects and flow dynamics you need for focusing and separation. Particle Tracing for Fluid Flow Module: This module allows you to track the motion of particles in a fluid, including both the static and rotating particles. You can account for various forces, such as inertial forces, drag, and lift forces, that influence the particles' equilibrium positions in the flow. CFD Module (Computational Fluid Dynamics): This module is useful for solving the Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow in the microchannel, which is critical for understanding the inertial effects on particle trajectories. Rotation (Custom Physics): For modeling rotating particles, you can apply custom physics for rotational motion and coupling it with the fluid flow. You may need to define rotational forces based on angular velocity and other relevant parameters. Particle Shape Effects: If you need to simulate the effects of particle shape, consider using the Particle Tracing or CFD module with customization for non-spherical particles and the associated drag and lift forces.
For simulating inertial focusing and particle separation in a microchannel in COMSOL, the ideal modules to use are:
Combining these modules will allow you to model both static and rotating particles and determine their equilibrium positions within the microchannel.
