Three-dimensional mathematical modeling of dynamics interfaces between aluminum, electrolytes and reverse zone of oxidized metal depending on the potencial distribution

Alexey Kalmykov

Abstract


The mathematical model with a high detailed description of the studied processes is presented in current paper.  Results of modeling Soderbergh’s reduction cell for model task and for reduction cell with multiple anodes are also presented. System of the equations of Navier-Stokes is used for modeling of hydrodynamics of process of electrolysis. Distribution of electromagnetic fields is fitted to Maxwell’s system of equations. Influence of distribution of electric potential over the anode on MHD-stability of process is considered and comparative analysis of numerical experiments is also given.
