AMELHYFLAM

The AMELHYFLAM project consists in developing a numerical model strongly coupling biphasic hydrodynamics and electrokinetic calculations in industrial electrolysers, taking into account the electrochemical phenomena present at the electrode interfaces / bath and modeling the behavior of electrogenerated bubbles. This model will be applied to aluminum production for the Rio Tinto group, to the synthesis of fluorine for the Areva group and for hydrogen production (hybrid electrochemical / thermal cycle - Westinghouse process) for CEA. The numericalmodel will be built using two tools: Flux-Expert (Astek company), very well adapted for modeling of electrochemical phenomena, and Fluidyn MP (Fluidyn company), multi-physics and multi-methods code.
