Abstract: Based on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the mass transfer and electrochemistry theories, a model for turbulent electrode channel flow is established. The turbulent mass transfer in electrolytic processes is predicted with a direct numerical simulation method under galvanostatic condition. This paper investigates the mean concentration and the structure of concentration fluctuating fields for different Schmidt numbers. The effect of concentration boundary condition at the electrodes on the near-wall turbulence statistics is also discussed.
