On the three-dimensional character of the magnetohydrodynamic effect during metal electrodeposition in cuboid cells

Mutschke, G.; Bund, A.

The influence of external homogeneous magnetic fields during electrochemical metal deposition in cuboid cells is shortly reviewed. By analytical means, supported by numerical simulations, it is shown that a simplified two-dimensional approach is often misleading and has to be replaced by a more complex three-dimensional treatment as only the solenoidal part of the Lorentz force can cause convection.
