ElectromagneticHeatingMaterial

Material class used to provide the electric field as a material property and computes the residual contributions for electromagnetic/electrostatic heating objects.

Overview

ElectromagneticHeatingMaterial provides the electric field and residual contributions of electromagnetic/electrostatic heating objects as material properties. In particular, ElectromagneticHeatingMaterial provides the residuals for ADJouleHeatingSource and JouleHeatingHeatGeneratedAux within the heat transfer module.

For the formulation of the electric field, users defined the "solver" parameter as:

  • ELECTROMAGNETIC: where the electric field can be supplied by the electromagnetic module

  • ELECTROSTATIC: where the user provides an electrostatic potential and the electric field () is defined as , where is the electrostatic potential

For the formulation of the residuals, users defined the "formulation" parameter as:

  • TIME: where the electric field is assumed to be derived from the time dependent Maxwell's equations

  • FREQUENCY: where the electric field is assumed to be derived from the frequency dependent Maxwell's equations. When using the frequency domain, the electric field is assumed to have a real and complex component.

The equations for the residual formulations can be found in ADJouleHeatingSource.
