Infinite Electrolyte
The Infinite Electrolyte defines an electrolyte of infinite extension.
The node can only be applied to external boundaries that are adjacent to an Electrolyte domain. The infinite electrolyte is located outside these boundaries.
The Infinity condition defines the condition for the electrolyte potential at infinity.
Note that the Electrolyte conductivity σl (SI unit: S/m) entered cannot be space dependent.
The node solves for the Laplace equation using the boundary element method (BEM). It is available in 2D and 3D.
SYMMETRY
When enabled, the Symmetry Lines (2D) or Symmetry Planes(3D) defines an even symmetry (insulation) line/plane with infinite extension at the specified position. Boundaries coinciding with Symmetry Lines or Symmetry Planes should not be included in the Boundary Selection.
