Summary
The stress calcaulation assumes a constant current density on the whole WP cross-section. A more consistent approximation would be assuming a constant WP current density, leading to a constant current per circular ring.
Following this logic, the current densiy is lower at the plasma facing WP side than in the inner side.
Proposal
Modify the body force expression in the stress model equation and see if an analitical solution can still be found.
