Study Flow Field of Magnesium Electrolyzer by Computer Technology
In modern times, computer technology is used in various fields in the world. In this paper, CFD(computational fluid dynamics) was applied to build mathematical model to simulate continuous and dispersed multiphase flow in the experimental systems and an industrial electrolyzer. The Volume of Fluid model was used in the mathematical model for multi-phases. Cold model system of complex multiphase behavior of argon gas, water and silicon oil system in terms of dynamic similarity was established to validate the math model. Flow field was measured through PIV (particle-image velocimetry) technology. The results show that the built three dimensional mathematical model was valid for the system and suitable for the electrolyzer in electrolysis magnesium industry. The characteristics of complex multiphase in industrial electrolyzer were discussed in the paper.
