ElectronDiffusionDoNothingBC

Boundary condition where the electron diffusion flux at the boundary is equal to the bulk electron diffusion equation

Overview

ElectronDiffusionDoNothingBC is an outflow boundary condition where the outflow at the boundary is equal to the bulk electron diffusion equation.

The outflow is defined as

$var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-fddbe8aa-1f80-441f-9ffd-31e6326add09");katex.render("\\Gamma_{e} \\cdot \\textbf{n} = - D_{e} \\nabla (n_{e}) \\cdot \\textbf{n}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

Where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-0384df4c-7c3a-42b9-bb1f-822cbcd2fefb");katex.render("\\Gamma_e \\cdot \\textbf{n}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the outflow normal to the boundary, $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-67db41f2-82d8-482c-b536-41fc6254b9a5");katex.render("\\textbf{n}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the normal vector of the boundary, $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-ab5f0809-e273-4c43-ad0a-739437c7e084");katex.render("D_{e}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the diffusion coefficient, and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-442f5e04-97fd-4341-8dbd-62d4c7fb7e1a");katex.render("n_{e}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the electron density. When converting the density to logarithmic form and applying a scaling factor of the mesh, the strong form for ElectronDiffusionDoNothingBC is defined as

$var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-b26ccdf6-2eff-4a42-8415-b4a282f1155d");katex.render("\\Gamma_{e} \\cdot \\textbf{n} = - D_{e} \\exp(N_{e}) \\nabla (N_{e} / l_{c}) \\cdot \\textbf{n}", element, {displayMode:true,throwOnError:false});$

Where $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-4c7bdd46-e308-4cd4-b31c-2bc064f47c99");katex.render("N_{e}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the molar density of the species in logarithmic form and $var element = document.getElementById("moose-equation-b7f19c6d-6025-4359-b113-ca3c128a2105");katex.render("l_{c}", element, {displayMode:false,throwOnError:false});$ is the scaling factor of the mesh.
