The Current Distribution, Pipe Interface
The Current Distribution, Pipel (cdpipe) interface (), found under the Electrochemistry branch () when adding a physics interface, describes the electrolyte charge transport in electrolyte tubes of a given radius along the tangential direction of an edge.
By replacing the domain electrolyte partial differential equation by a tangential formulation along the edge, the problem size can be significantly reduced.
The physics interface is typically used for corrosion and corrosion protection simulations inside metallic pipes.
The interface is similar to The Primary and Secondary Current Distribution Interfaces, but solves for the electrolyte potential (phil) only, on the edges in the geometry. The interface is only available in 3D.
