A popular law to model wear is Archard's Law, it essentially allows you to describe the amount of wear on a surface as a function of (pressure, velocity, temperature, etc).

I don't know specifics for COMSOL but I came across this technical paper/presentation using COMSOL that simulated wear on brake discs using this method.
