The effect of flux jump on the current density distributions is studied in type-II superconducting slab. The magnetothermal diffusion equations based on the Kim model in the regime of flux creep are presented to estimate the effect of flux jump on the distributions of current density inside the slab and the changes of surface current density in the flux jump process. Numerical results show that the current density distributions are dependent on the flux jump. It is intended that the flux jump analysis presented be useful to researchers interested in flux jump instability characteristics.
