Heat transfer simulation of Gel(high viscous fluid) on a solid plate
 

Hi everyone,

I'd like to have a heat transfer simulation of a sintering process.
A thin layer of the combination of a metal powder and a solvent (which lied on a solid plate) should be heated and the thermal behaviour should be observed.
(the geometry can be seen in the attachment below)
Does anybody have an idea about the models can be used for the combination of the solid powder and the fluid?
I guess there are some difficulties like boiling after heating , or considering the non-Newtonian fluid .... .
I would appreciate any idea or suggestions...

Thanks in advance.
