Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

In allusion to some disadvantages existed in the current rare earth molten salt electrolytic cell with parallel-interpolation-structure of anode and cathode,10kA bottom-cathode-structure rare earth electrolytic cell was designed and the commercial CFD software FLUENT was used to simulate the flow field.Then the velocity distributions of electrolyte and anode gas for three kinds of polar distance were obtained,and the result reveals the design of the new electrolytic cell is reasonable.
