I am now working on a project to simulate the effect of external magnetic field on ferrofluid droplets in a microchannel. The project is in it's initial stage, The simulation is yet to start. Many says COMSOL is the best package. I know FLUENT and CFX, and COMSOL is completely new to me.
I am not familiar with FLUENT and CFX but I can confirm that COMSOL is one great solution - if not the best - to simulate multiple physics phenomenon such as electromagneto/fluidics.
Moreover, the community is big so a lot of questions and tutorials exists.
It is relatively simple to use: create your geometry, add your physics (electromagnetic and hydrodynamic in your case), add the conditions and launch the simulation.
Hope it helps choosing your solution.
Best,
Théo
Yes, comsol is the best package. But you should take care of your boundary conditions, your scheeming and do not forget to compare your results.
