This kernel will be deprecated in the near future (10/01/2025) in favor of exclusively using the JouleHeatingHeatGeneratedAux object within the Heat Transfer module, because JouleHeatingHeatGeneratedAux can calculate both electrostatic and electromagnetic Joule heating. For more information, please see JouleHeatingHeatGeneratedAux.
EMJouleHeatingHeatGeneratedAux
Computes the heating due to the electic field in the form of
Overview
The EMJouleHeatingHeatGeneratedAux object calculates the heating term imparted to the medium based on the conduction current. The term is defined as:
where
is the conductivity of the medium,
is the electric field, and
is the complex conjugate of the electric field.

[]Input Parameters
- blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied
- boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>
Controllable:No
Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this object applies
- check_boundary_restrictedTrueWhether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Controllable:No
Description:Whether to check for multiple element sides on the boundary in the case of a boundary restricted, element aux variable. Setting this to false will allow contribution to a single element's elemental value(s) from multiple boundary sides on the same element (example: when the restricted boundary exists on two or more sides of an element, such as at a corner of a mesh

Default:LINEAR TIMESTEP_END
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Controllable:No
Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
Optional Parameters

- seed0The seed for the master random number generator
Default:0
C++ Type:unsigned int
Controllable:No
Description:The seed for the master random number generator
- use_displaced_meshFalseWhether or not this object should use the displaced mesh for computation. Note that in the case this is true but no displacements are provided in the Mesh block the undisplaced mesh will still be used.
Default:False
