No Flux
This node is the default boundary condition on exterior boundaries. It should be used on boundaries across which there is no mass flux, typically solid walls where no surface reactions occur. The condition applied for each species corresponds to
where
n
denotes the outward pointing normal of the boundary. When the mass transport includes migration of ionic species, the no flux condition is:
convection
By default, the feature prescribes a vanishing flux due to diffusion and migration in an electric field. This is the appropriate no flux condition when the relative convective velocity at the boundary is zero. When the fluid velocity at the boundary is not equal to that of the boundary, it is often convenient to prescribe the total flux including the convection. To do this select
Include
in the
Convection
section.
When including the convection, the no flux condition prescribed is:
or
when migration of ionic species is included.
