Coupling to Other Physics Interfaces
Electrode Potential in Other Physics Interfaces
Typically the boundary electric potential in the Electrode Surface node is set to the electric potential in the Electrode, Shell interface.
Electrode Reaction Currents
The sum of currents can be coupled to other electrochemistry interfaces, calculating in as
where itot (SI unit: A/m2) is the sum of all electrode currents in the coupled Electrochemistry interface.
Electrode Layer Thickness
The electrode thickness, s, can typically be coupled to an External Depositing Electrode (External Corroding Electrode) node in the Electrodeposition, Moving Mesh (Corrosion, Moving Mesh) interface, in that case s is calculated as
(3-9)
where s0 is the initial electrode layer thickness, and Δstot is the electrode thickness change, calculated by the coupled Electrochemistry interface.
Heat Source
The electron conduction gives rise to a Joule heating source QH (SI unit: W/m2) according to
