A continuous liquid-solid interface model is introduced to calculate thermoelectric current. For comparison, the governing equations are solved by both a home-made code based on finite difference scheme and a commercial code COMSOL. The results are well in agreement with analytical calculation. The reliability of the model and the method are proved through a computation of some examples.
