This bachelor thesis focuses on modeling Brownian motion using the COMSOL Multiphysics package and its Particle Tracing module. The aim of the work is to design and create elementary models that will be able to suitably simulate the movement of microparticles in viscous and viscoelastic environments, which can later be used for modeling passive microrheology. Within this work, Matlab scripts were created for the calculation of MSD from the simulation results, validation of the viscous model was performed on experimental data and elementary models for the simulation of the viscoelastic environment were also designed. Two different approaches were chosen for the design of these models, namely the use of rigid obstacles under the assumption of a discrete environment and a mathematical model assuming continuous environment. Data from the viscous model showed good agreement with the experimental results. The results of viscoelastic simulations are presented, and further possible development of these models is discussed. The continuous mathematical model is considered closest to modeling viscoelastic behavior because of a characteristic curvature that was observed in the evaluation of MSD.
