The Current Discontinuity node represents a discontinuity in the current density across an internal boundary:
where the value of i0 specifies the size of the current density jump evaluated from the up to the down side of the boundary. This boundary condition is only available on interior boundaries.
Specify i0 (SI unit: A/m
2), the jump in current density, using a positive value for increasing current density when going from the up to the down side of the boundary. The normal direction
(nx,ny,nz) (
(nr,nz) in axisymmetric models
) points in the direction from the downside toward the upside of an interior boundary and can be plotted for visualization.
