7.16.1.20.21. Joule_Heating_Material_Phase_Sum

Syntax

Source For Energy [{of} SpeciesName | {in} MaterialPhaseName | {ls} {a | b | c}] {@ | at | for | on | over} MeshPartIdentifier = Joule_Heating_Material_Phase_Sum [Power_Output = power_output | Toggle = toggle | Voltage_Subindex = voltage_subindex]

Summary

Joule heating source for energy equation with current in multiple material phases.

Description

S = \sum_\text{phases} -j_p \cdot \nabla V_p

where j_p is the current density in the material phase and V_p the voltage in the material phase. This is most commonly used for battery models.

The following options are present in most boundary conditions/sources. The meaning of each option is as follows:

Power_Output

If specified, the total (integrated) power of the given BC/Src is calculated and stored into the global variable name specified as the power_output argument.

Toggle

If given, specifies which toggle block controls whether this BC is active or not.
