Liquid Encapsulated Capacitor

That being said, I started working with it a little and now I can finally design a capacitor and have COMSOL calculate the capacitance.
What I would like to do, however, is to have a capacitor that uses a liquid as a dielectric. By rotating the capacitor (or changing the gravitational field), the shape of the liquid in the capacitor will change, and therefore there will be a change in capacitance.
My question: are there any tutorials or pointers on how to model any of that in COMSOL? How can I change the gravitational field that acts on a liquid in an enclosed container? How do I figure out what the liquid inside that container would look like at each moment of time? and how can I link that so that COMSOL can calculate the capacitance at each one of those moments?
Again, I apologize in advance if this was a relatively dumb question. I'm just getting started with COMSOL (the only reason I am trying to learn COMSOL is to figure out a problem of such nature, so I thought I should post here for help).
