You said that you are using the same mesh for both FiPy and COMSOL and the
mesh is of sufficient quality for COMSOL to give what you believe is a
reasonable answer. I'm not sure that the problem is with the mesh in this
case since they are the same.

What else shall I try?

Is there a way to switch off the correction terms in COMSOL and see what
happens? Another possibility is to solve a similar problem with a Cartesian
grid and then compare FiPy and COMSOL. My guess is that COMSOL does a
better job with non-orthogonality than FiPy. We know that non-orthogonal
correction terms is something that needs to be addressed.
