Computation of Forced Convection in Electrochemical Cells Installed in a Sudden Expansion

Abstract

After successful results obtained from a developed code aiming at the computation of natural and forced convection in electrochemical cells, there is a possibility to develop it to sudden expansion case. In such case the verified code has been extended to the prediction of in a binary electrolyte solution of multi-ion electrochemical reactor with sudden expansion geometry. The concentration, current density, turbulence structure and the development of boundary layer has been numerically predicted in non-pervious obtained results.
