A 3D finite element approach for the coupled numerical simulation of electrochemical systems and fluid flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
A comprehensive finite element method for three-dimensional simulations of stationary and transient electrochemical systems including all multi-ion transport mechanisms (convection, diffusion and migration) is presented. In addition, non-linear phenomenological electrode kinetics boundary conditions are accounted for. The governing equations form a set of coupled non-linear partial differential equations subject to an algebraic constraint due to the electroneutrality condition. The advantage of a convective formulation of the ion-transport equations with respect to a natural application of homogeneous flux boundary conditions is emphasized. For one of the numerical examples, an analytical solution for the coupled problem is provided, and it is demonstrated that the proposed computational approach is robust and provides accurate results.

متن کاملNumerical simulation of the fluid dynamics in a 3D spherical model of partially liquefied vitreous due to eye movements under planar interface conditions
Partially liquefied vitreous humor is a common physical and biochemical degenerative change in vitreous body which the liquid component gets separated from collagen fiber network and leads to form a region of liquefaction. The main objective of this research is to investigate how the oscillatory motions influence flow dynamics of partial vitreous liquefaction (PVL). So far computational fluid d...
